Official Information, Aided by Maps, Which Should Prove of Inestimable Value to Coach Proprietors.

WITH TEE opening of the motor coach season increasing attention isl being directed to our feature dealing with town parking plans for visiting coaches, and ownera who have hitherto been unaware of our efforts to help them have now provided us with evidence of their appreciation of the official information, aided by readily understood maps, dealing with the plans made by prominerifi municipal authorities, ehich we are publishing.

For the benefit of new readers, we will repeat that the main object uf our feature is to render assistance to those owners whose vehicles may be engaged on long-distance touring, although, of course, the information is worthy of consideration by users whose vehicles are engaged on day or half-day tours, Most municipal authorities whose areas are frequented by motor coaches make special arrangements for the reception of incoming coaches, and our object is to clis seminate this information amongst coach owners and drivers who, if blissfully ignorant of the facilities provided, may become involved in irritating incidents which are warranted to try the patience of passengers. By going to a lot of trouble, coach owners can secure some of this information for themselves, but they are spared this inconvenience if they carefully study our maps and particulars.

We have already dealt with the arrangements in furee in 17 different towns and cities, and we shall continue to publish, week by week, details of the facilities provided in all the popular motor coaching centres in England, Scotland and Wales, Some of the information may not be of immediate value to coach owners and their driver-employees, but we suggest that they should file the particulars week by week, for they can never be quite certain when they may be called

upon to visit a strange part.

We have official information in our possession dealing with the facilities provided in most of the prominent coaching centres, and we will gladly forward, through the post, particular* concerning any town or city to coach owners who apply teethe Editor, upon remittance of cost of postage. We are also prepared to supply reprints of the maps and par, ticulers already published.

This week we deal with the regulations which are in force at Ashbouriae, Chester and Salisbury.
