rENERAL authorizations enabling &licensees to carry goods for each other, provided that the traffic would in any case be carried by ancillary transport, now extend to' all traffic areas except three, where they are subject to certain limitations.
This was stated by the Traders' Road Transport Association last week. The review of supplementary fuel applications being undertaken by the Regional Transport Commissioners was removing many of the difficulties at first experienced.
The Federation of British Industries, National Union of Manufacturers, Association of British Chambers of Commerce and the National Chamber of Trade were among the organizations collaborating with the T.R.T.A. in setting up regional joint machinery to assist Clicensees in pooling transport.
RAIL PLANS MAY BE ARRESTED
THE railway modernization programme may be slowed down because of the oil shortage. Already in some areas the replacement of. steam locomotives by diesels is being postponed to conserve oil. The delay is only temporary and the long-term scheme is unaffected, writes our political correspondent.
Protests have reached Westminster from hauliers, particularly those in the north-east, where diesel locomotives came into service on the . CarlisleNewcastle upon Ty‘ne line on Monday. Mr. Rupert Speir (Cons., Hexhain) has suggested in questions to the Minister of Transport that the replacement of coal-burning locomotives by diesels should be postponed while the present emergency lasts.
