HC Deb 27 July 1938 vol 338 cc3117-8W
Mr. Bull

asked the Minister of Transport whether arrangements are made by the London Passenger Transport Board when altering omnibus stops to give adequate warning to the public; and whether he will suggest that such warnings should be given in advance at the original stopping places, so as to bring the prospective change more directly to the notice of those concerned?

Mr. Burgin

I am advised by the London Passenger Transport Board that when material alterations to stopping places for their vehicles are made it is the practice to give notice to the travelling public by means of bills posted in and on the vehicles as well as on the stop signs. If the changes are of an extensive character it is usual also to advise the Press. Where changes are introduced at short notice by circumstances outside the board's control and it is not practicable to exhibit notices, officials of the board are placed at the stops to direct and assist passengers generally.
