BRITISH RAILWAYS
EXTENSION OF AIR SERVICES ( British Official Wirel«»». I Received April 29, 5.5 p.m. RUGBY, April 28. Owing to the comparatively short distances involved and the excellence of the rail and road transport services, the establishment of air routes within Britain have had no great incentive. Nevertheless the railway companies, after three years’ experience of running certain air routes, have felt justifled in extending them and nine new services totalling 6000 miles are now to be opened by them in conjunction with Imperial Airways. De Haviland four-engined and twin-engined 'planes are being acquired for the new services which open next month.
