AS exclusively forecast in The Commercial Mobs', last week, an important meeting to consider the
. variation of public-service-vehicle drivers' hours was held in London, last Friday. The meeting was occasioned by the expiry of the existing Variation Order on May 31 next. • The interested bodies were the Commercial Motor Users Association, Motor Hirers and Coach Services Association, Municipal Tramways and Transport Association, .National Union of Railwaymen. Omnibus Owners Association, Tramways, Light Railways and Transport Association, and Transport and General Workers Union.
No statement •was issued in connection with the meeting, but it is understood -that unanimous recommendations are to be made to the Minister of Transport, and that the conference was conclusive.
It appears that the proposed variations were concerned principally with straight and split shifts, and that some slight increase in the hours worked on such shifts, and under certain conditions, was thought to be desirable. There is reason to believe that the workers could not accept a special concession relating to the hours of drivers of contract carriages, and of express carriages conveying passengers only at day-return fares. The proposed variations would be of assistance to the small man during the busy Bank Holiday periods. Further interesting developments are likely.
MORE BUSES FOR MANCHESTER.
(IN three farther routes buses are to V./replace trams in Manchester. On one route, the change will, it is anticipated, be made on March 1, whilst, on the two other services, the trams will, it is understood, be abandoned en April 1.
