WHEELS MOVE AGAIN

TRANSPORT SLOWLY COMES BACK

VOLUNTEERS AND SKELETON

TRAIN SERVICES.

LONDON, sth May. A broadcast -wireless appeal for volunteer labour for the underground railways met with an overwhelming response. Hundreds of recruits have been enrolled into the service as motormen and signalmen. The work of training recruits is already in full swing, and it is hoped there will be a six minutes' service of trains on the Central London Bailway on Wednesday from 8 o'clock in the morning till 8 at night. Six stations between Shopherd's Bush and Liverpool street have boen opened, and two thousand beds for volunteers for the underground railway installed. Several railways announce the resumption of partial services. The Great Western promises a fifteen minute service in many districts. Numerous trains are operating in Scotland with the aid of drivers who reported for duty. Road transport in the industrial centres of Scotland is good, largely owing to the enlistment of Scotch students. Oxford undergraduates who are not sitting for examinations this term have been given leavo of absence. Many already have left Oxford. The London, Midland, and Scottish Eailway Company announces that a number of trains will run to-morrow, including some from Euston to Birmingham and Manchester, and all the principal Midland northern towns.
