Congestion Causes Half-hour Delays

SERIOUS traffic congestion in several parts of the city is pinpointed by the Bristol Omnibus Co., Ltd., as the root of criticism of their services. The report of an investigation carried out by the company has been prepared for the joint transport committee.
It was also presented to the planning and public works committee and is to be placed before the Minister of Transport in an effort to assist Bristol Corporation's case for more money to build bridges and avoid bottlenecks in the city.
Mr. Ian Patey, general manager, says that services are reduced to an overall speed of 11 m.p.h. as a result of traffic congestion and that delays 'of up to half an hour at peak periods are experienced. Reorganization of routes last September (The Commercial Motor, November 21, 1958) has avoided buses standing in places such as The Centre and the Old Market, but has not relieved late running.
Traffic flow is disrupted by the intersection of the River Avon, Feeder Canal and Floating Harbour, which break lines of communication across the city.
It is the company's considered opinion that the position will not be improved a great deal by the widening of existing bridges, without improving the roadways leading to and from them.
OIL IN LINCOLNSHIRE
ATEST well drilled by RP. Exploration Co., Ltd., 11 miles east of Gainsborough, Lines, has struck oil at a depth of 4,600 ft. During tests, the well has produced oil at the rate of 15 tons a day. The new site is about 24 miles west of Corringham, where oil was found last
summer. .
Crude-oil production from existing fields operated by B.P. Exploration in the United Kingdom in 1958 amounted to about 80,000 tons.
