§ 50. Mr. S. O. Daviesasked the Minister of Transport, in giving his consent to the closure of the railway to Dowlais, 313W what information he had as to the public transport facilities that are now available for the inhabitants of the Cwmbargoed area, Dowlais.
§ Mr. MarplesThe only bus service in this area was the twice-daily Bargoed-Merythr bus service, which passed fairly close to one group of houses and some three-quarters of a mile from the houses near the station. We accepted the suggestion of the Transport Users Consultative Committee that this bus should stop at the nearest point to the village and be supplemented by direct services from the station to Dowlais on Saturdays. This has been done.
