W/HEN the Royal CommisVV sion on the Unification of Tyneside Local Authorities completed its sitting at Newcastle-on-Tyne, last week,. reference was made to the suggestion for a transport board for Tyneside. A representative of the Northern General Transport Co., Ltd., said that, with up-to-date services provided in Northumberland and Durham, there was no „need for such a board.
The chairman of the Commission asked a representative of United Automobile Services, Ltd., why there were no through bus services in Newcastle. It was explained that before the Traffic Commissioners came into being, Newcastle Corporation was the licensing authority for that area, and had fixed the conditions attaching to the licences. The Traffic Commissioners had followed this example.
The chairman remarked that it was very unusual and the " United" official said it was essential to provide through services to meet the needs of the travelling public.
The results of the investigations will be announced by the Commission at a later date.
