Each day a drag will leave Ambury’s corner at 8.15 a.m., returning at 5.30 p.m. Li addition to this the 9 a.m., XI a.m., and 1 o’clock buses will run as far as the bottom of the hill. The fare each way has been fixed at 6d. The charge for a motor-car each -way will bo 6s, and for a cab ss, irrespective of the number of passengers.
