A SYMBOLIC service No. 1 bus, r-k crewed by the two longest-serving members of the platform staff, was driven through the gates, a tape was cut, and Darlington's much needed ultra-modern bus station was officially opened by the Mayor, Councillor R. Loraine, on Monday.
Built by United Automobile Services, the new, fully roofed-in station will act as a terminus for all bus services, longdistance and local, that enter Darlington, with the exception of the Corporation's own town services.
The huge building. conveniently situated near the market and station, is steelframed, with a low-pitched asbestos roof over part of it and a flat roof of aluminium and steel decking over the rest.
It is heated by two oil-fired installations and an unusual feature is a tubular radiator system over the passenger concourse. Ventilation is by extractor ducts operated by electric fans.
Of particular advantage is the platform indicator system. By operating an electric switch. destination blinds can be changed to enable passengers to join duplicate vehicles as desired.
Training For Industry
ANEW training school which has been built and equipped at a cost of more than £250,000 for the Pressed Steel Co., Ltd., at its Cowley, Oxford, headquarters, is to be opened on Wednesday, September 20, by Mr. W. J. Carron, president of the Amalgamated Engineering Union.
The new school, a five-storey building. has been designed for the training not only of craft and student apprentices, but to accommodate courses for supervisory and executive staff and university graduates entering the industry.
