HC Deb 08 July 1946 vol 425 c1W
5. Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Transport whether the single omnibus service front Souldern to Bicester or Banbury, Oxfordshire, can be improved to three services each way daily, as was done by the local operator previous to the Oxford Omnibus Company being given the monopoly.

Mr. Barnes

The company which is in course of revising its country services is prepared to consider amplifying this service to the. extent that the need is proved and resources are available.

7. Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Transport what steps the Traffic Commissioner is taking to improve the omnibus service from Stoke Lyne, near Bicester, Oxfordshire, which at present runs once weekly, on Friday, to Oxford, whereas Thursday is Bicester's market day.

Mr. Barnes

The omnibus company, who have received no suggestion from residents of Stoke Lyne that a service should be run between Stoke Lyne and Bicester, will examine any representations made to them specifying the demand for such a service. The Commissioner will consider any application made by the company for authority to operate it. I am informed that Friday is the market day at Bicester.
