Manchester's carryings down again

• Manchester City Transport estimates that there has been a further seven per cent drop in passenger carryings during the past 12 months. This was revealed during an application by the department to curtail a stage carriage service running between New Moston and Trafford Park via the city centre.
Mr. S. Shallice, licensing officer, told the North Western Traffic Commissioners last week that the route in question was, on average, only one-third full and was losing £8,000 a year. As part of the department's policy to reduce the large deficit caused by the deferment of a fares increase last year, it was seeking to reduce operations by 3frn miles annually.
This service would continue to run in peak hours but at off-peak times passengers travelling to the city centre would have to take a different service which was more circuitous, and would take 35 instead of 28 minutes. Fares would remain the same. The alterations had been introduced on July 8 under a special dispensation and no letters of complaint had been received.
The Commissioners heard representation from a local resident, Mr. L. Goodstadt, but granted the application as applied for. However, they agreed that the corporation should be able to produce costings for part of a route to establish what portion was unremunerative.
