THE Addlestone, Surrey, factory of Weymanns Ltd., part of the Metropolitan-Cantmell-Weymann Ltd. group is to close at the end of this year. All production carried out there will be transferred to the group's Elindon works at Birmingham. Rumours hale been circulating for some time about the future of Weymanns, which was acquired by the Metropolitan Cantina
Carriage and Wagon Co, Ltd. (as it was then named) about 1963.
Production at the Addlestone factory was seriously disrupted by a prolonged strike last year. It seems that only the " Weymann " name will now survive—the present title of the controlling company is MetropolitanCammell-Weymann Ltd. Weytnanns is one of Britain's largest bus bodybuilders.
