QEVERAL years of planning and con sultation between the major bus operators in the area and the develop ment corporation came to a satisfactory
conclusion on -Monday, when services started from the new town of Cwmbran,
Mon. It is believed to be the first time that the question of bus services has entered into the planning of a new town.
• Red and White Services, Ltd., and the Western Welsh Omnibus Co., Ltd., have examined road widths on routes, and lay-bys and bus shelters. "We have negotiated with the Cwmbran Develop ment Corporation for a new bus station in the centre of the town, and we have also arranged to have built close to the bus station a new depot which will take more than 40 vehicles," Mr. F. H. Pengelly, traffic manager of Western Welsh, said last week.
"There are certain bridges in the area that will not allow the• passage of double-deck vehicles at the moment, but we have arranged with the corporation that double-deck vehicles will be able. to operate anywhere in the new town when it is completed."
Cwmbran is expected to house a population of some 40,000.
TROLLEYBUSES MAY GO
TROLLEYBUSES may be withdrawn when the proposed merger of the Grimsby and Cleethorpes transport undertakings comes into force. "It is by no means certain what the committee will decide to do about this matter," commented Ald. A. W. Cox, a Cleethorpes Member of the merger committee. In the past, trolleybuses had proved economical, but they placed a great restriction on routes.
A decision on the future of the trolley buses will probably be taken at the committee's next meeting.
MULLETTS TO MERGE
THE old-established company of Mulletts Motor Works, Ltd., Redcliffe Hill, Bristol, is being merged with Coventry and 'Jeffs, Ltd., St. Georges Road, Bristol. New Dodge and MorrisCommercial vehicles will continue to be sold at Redcliffe Hill, but service facilities will be transferred to the new commercial-vehicle depot of Coventry and Jeffs, Ltd., at Stafford Street, Mill Lane, Bedminster.
STATE LIGHTING SUBSIDY?
I N his presidential speech to the Public Lighting Engineers' Conference at Blackpool last week, Mr. Harry Carpenter, illuminations and street lighting officer at Blackpool, called for a Government subsidy to provide and maintain lighting installations on classified roads. He also drew attention to the industrial handicaps imposed by the chaotic road conditions that existed at the present time.
