Co-ordinator's Return

iT a time when co-ordination and integration are the " words for urban passenger transport there is a piquancy the news that a man who many years ago helped to lay foundations for the co-ordinated bus services in the North W returned there this month to celebrate his golden wedd anniversary. After an absence of 10 years J. W. Womar and wife Rosaline were "home" again.

Although living in retirement in North Wales, Mr. Won retains a lively interest in public transport; most of his 48 ye in this field were spent in the North West, though he recalls wry amusement that the trams over in Hartlepool, where he bq his career 58 years ago, maintained higher average speeds ti many of today's buses can match in urban traffic.

When he was with North Western Road Car he was responsi for starting—with Ribble Motor Services—the Manchest Blackpool services which have become the most heaN trafficked express routes in the world, I'm told. Mr. Womar sha with his son Walter (now deputy general manager of Midlz Red) more than 80 years in public transport.
