HC Deb 03 March 1947 vol 434 cc16-7W
Mr. Edward Davies

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that the omni- bus service generally today in Stoke-on-Trent is much inferior to that operating in 1939; that workers have to wait an unduly long period to get home from work during the peak period; and whether he will take steps to effect some improvement.

Mr. Barnes

The largest undertaking in the district has reinstated all its services withdrawn during the war and has introduced many new services Congestion has, however, resulted from recent changes in working hours, and improvements in conditions depend upon the adoption of a system of staggering the local hours of work.
