-WHEN new premises for Scottish VI' Omnibuses Ltd. were formally opened at Linlithgow, near Edinburgh, last week, the opportunity was taken to pay tribute and say farewell to Mr. James Amos, chairman of the company, on his retirement.
Warm tributes were paid by various civic officials, all of whom spoke of the happy relations that had existed between them for many years, largely because of the humanity of Mr. Amos, his business ability, and his willingness to listen to the other side.
Mr. Amos referred to the Forth road bridge, and hoped that toll charges would be reasonable. He suggested that it would be much better if Scottish Omnibuses and other companies made an annual payment so as not to impede the flow of traffic by individual buses having to stop. Mr. Amos said he had no doubt that the happy relations of the past would continue under Mr. Little, in whom he had every confidence.
At the week-end Mr. Amos, who is 68, commented: "I am going out on the grounds of age alone and I don't mean to rust. I am remaining on the board of Scottish Omnibuses Ltd". This, he said, would help him to retain his interest in road passenger transport.
The new bus premises, which cost £15,000, comprise a three-storey structure, well-appointed offices on the ground floor and two modern flats above. A new canteen has also been provided.
