were employed by the J\V1t Yorkshire Road Car Co., Ltd., on the biggest single contract job in its history, when the company transported upwards of 2,000 workpeople on a day excursion to Blackpool. The workers were the guests of the senior director of a Bradford textile concern, who entertained them in celebration of the marriage of his son to the daughter of a Silsden textile manufacturer, and they comprised the whole of the operatives and staffs at two Bradford mills and one Silsden mill.
The transport arrangements, organized by Mr. Brown, Bradford traffic manager for the West Yorkshire con cern, worked without a hitch. The police authorities along the route—the more picturesque one, via Gisburn and Clitheroe—were notified in advance, and the huge procession of vehicles kept remarkably well to scheduled times.
On arrival at Blackpool, the 00 vehicles were parked at the Coliseum Garage bus sfation, where the accommodation is such that, without causing any interference with normal traffic, they were able to remain until the time of departure at 9 p.m.
nNE of the conditions governing the L./bus service to be operated by Mr. W. R. Tyler specifically for the employees of the Austin Motor Co., Ltd., is that, " with the exception of one passenger (Mr. J. D. Smith), no passengers shall be taken Op or set down at Harbome."
We trust that Mr. Smith duly recognizes the honour thrust upon him by the West Midland Traffic Commissioners.
