Fifty-eight vehicles were added to the fleet last year, 25 new services were introduced, four services operated before the war were reinstated and the frequency of 173 other services was increased.
Road Fund expenditure totalled 027,554, whilst fuel tax absorbed £425.000. This latter sum was £180.000 higher than in 1949, because of the Budget increase.
