• Advice on ways to improve Edinburgh's bus system has been sought from British Leyland's product planning department. Two local Liberals—Mr Ronald Guild and Mr Campbell Waterman—have written to Mr Russell Horne, an expert in the department, who made a study of bus and urban transport systems while at Edinburgh University some time ago.
In their letter, the Liberals say: "Our single-manned system is the most foolish in Europe. The bus stops while the driver operates a transport version of the till they used in the old-world sweetie shops. We know better systems are in use in other countries. We know it is your business at Leyland to plan for our cities' future needs. Can you suggest something better for Edinburgh ?"
