A£300,000 EXTENSION to the Annandale
Street central garage of Edinburgh City Transport has increased its capacity to 242 buses and provides facilities for their docking and repair and that of 100 buses from Leith garage and 45 from Tollcross.
In the workshop area, built on the East London Street site, are 14 pits, each 40 ft long; three of these are separately situated for body and electrical repairs. Mechanical repairs and unit changes are concentrated on the 11 other pits, although complete engine changes are still undertaken in the Shrubhill bus works.
Prominently situated in the extension is the first example of a new fully-automatic bus washing plant of Scottish design. This plant washes every surface of the vehicle and will process 40 double-deckers an hour.
Better Year: Grimsby Cleethorpes Joint Transport Committee, which lost £8,000 during 1965, is expected to break even this year. Figures so far show an £11,000 profit, Hull Rise Hope: Hull Corporation Committee expects an increase in Hull fares this year to help reduce an expected loss for 1966-67 of £203,305.
