• Fifty-one applications have been received for director-generalship of the Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive, the post made vacant by the death of Mr Albert Burrows at Christmas.
Applications for the job have now closed and at a meeting of the Passenger Transport Authority on Friday a short-list of eight was drawn up. This has not been published but the list is understood to contain the name of one existing director of the PTE together with that of a university professor. An appointment to the £12,000 a year job will be made at the PTA's meeting on March 6.
• Two Glasgow streets are to be experimentally converted for use by buses only. Renfield Street and Union Street have been chosen with Argyle Street as a possible future development. Plans are currently being drawn up which would safeguard access for goods vehicles making deliveries.
