§ 25. Mr. WHITESIDEasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that in some cases the stopping places of omnibuses and tramcars are not only common to both types of vehicle, but are sometimes placed opposite one another on either side of the road, thus causing congestion when stoppage is coincident; and whether he will consider taking action against this procedure?
Mr. STANLEYMy Department fixes safety stops for tramcars, but otherwise I have no powers outside London to fix stopping places for either tramcars or omnibuses. Should these be fixed inconveniently I think that representations to the police or to the local authority concerned would normally result in an adjustment.
