" Red" company fast week have been granted by the East and West Midland Traffic Commissioners.
The increases include a rise in the minimum fare from 21d. to 3d., an increase in workmen's fares, and a higher scale for single and schoolchildren's tickets.
In a reserved decision, the Commissioners stated that the method of charging for children's half fares would remain unaltered--they would still be charged to the nearest id. above.
The Commissioners have deferred their decision on the company's proposal to include a surcharge on express carriage services between London and Birmingham on the M1 route, pending consultation with the Metropolitan Traffic Commissioners.
Sheffield Profit
ANET surplus of £12,233 for Sheffield transport department for the year ended March 31, 1961, was reported to the city's transport committee last week. The gross surplus on the year was £677,353, which was £253,713 more than in 1959, when £100,000 was lost through a 17-day strike.
The committee approved an application for higher fares estimated to produce about £160.000.
EDINBURGH FARES APPLICATION
THE Scottish Traffic Commissioners last week reserved their decision on an application by Edinburgh Corporation Transport Committee to increase fares.
For the Corporation, Mr. W. M. Little, transport manager, told the Commissioners that if fares were not increased there would be an estimated deficit of £194,000 by next May. Whilst the increases granted last year showed, for the first time in years, a profit, they had since then been committed to a further £200.000 costs.
