FROM OUR INDUSTRIAL CORRESPONDENT
pLANS for the transport industry
figure prominently on the agenda of the first of the transport unions to hold its annual conference, the Transport and Salaried Staffs' Association, which will be meeting at Rothesay next month.
One of the most interesting resolutions has the backing of three big branches: Birmingham No. 1, Bristol and Glasgow Southern. It starts off prosaically enough with a request for a "comprehensive" plan for transport, bearing in mind both the Beeching Plan and the Buchanan Report. But among its seven points which it suggests need looking into are:—
The possibility of specially booked mini-buses for season ticket holders, to give door-to-door services, thus reducing the number of cars on the road; the need for planned allocation of goods traffic to the form of transport best suited to the nation's needs; the question of limiting or reducing the number of C licences; complete integration of road and rail passenger services, so that they complement each other, with same fares between given points and tickets valid for either service; the question of bus services meeting trains, particularly in rural localities; a fully comprehensive review of national needs to be undertaken as quickly as possible.
Another resolution from the Road Haulage City branch "confirms its confidence" in the Labour Party's pledge to expand the public sector of road goods haulage. It therefore instructs the union's executive to oppose any reorganization of British Road Services, pending implementation of Labour's plan for an integrated transport system.
B.R.S. are affected in a somewhat different way by a resolution from Teesside Road Haulage, who demand that the 15 per cent bonus at present enjoyed by the operating and ancillary grades should also apply to the clerical and administrative grades. It wants the executive to approach the British Road Services Federation to secure this payment.
