Buses off road today
Christchurch Transport Board buses will be off the road for two hours from 10.30 a.m. today. The stoppage is to allow members of the Tramway Employees’ Union to attend their regular half-yearly general meeting. The president of the union, Mr Malcolm Blackburn, said that the union
regretted any inconvenience caused but emphasised that the stop-work meeting was necessary to give all members an opportunity to attend. “It is unfortunate that circumstances have resulted in buses being off the road twice in the last week but it is most unlikely this will happen again,” Mr Black-
burn said. Services will start running down from 8 a.m. on the outer city routes and should be fully restored by 3 p.m. Further information about last departure times can be obtained by telephoning the board’s information number, 794-600.
