ULSTERBUS is considering going into the Continental tours business. As an experiment this year it is taking about 200 employees on a holiday to Yugoslavia. The Scottish Bus Group may participate in the venture.
An Ulsterbus spokesman said: "We want to test the feasibility of offering cheap holidays to people who could not normally afford air fares, but who in return for a lower cost would put up willingly with the slight inconvenience of a longer journey. This business is already well developed in England."
New Application; Hull Corporation Transport Dept., has reapplied to the Yorkshire Traffic Cornmissioners for fare increases, after being turned down nine months ago because of the freeze. The new application will probably be heard in July —when the freeze has ended.
Village Loses Service: The villagers of [othersdale, Yorkshire, between them now run more than 80 cars and vans. And J. Covvgill and Sons have found that the bus service it runs between Lothersdale and Cross Hills no longer pays. So, after 46 years, the service has ended.
Coachbuilder Expands: Plans are being considered for works and offices at Sedgefield, Co. Durham, for A. Moseley and Co Ltd., coachhuilder, of Loughborough, Leicestershire. The premises will cover about 13.000 sq. ft.
More traffic control: Putney Liberals are calling for more control of urban traffic in favour of public transport: greater use of bus lanes; and an end to the diesel fuel tax for buses.
