Rimington Depot jila y Be Closed^

forthcoming for the con­


tinued use of Rimington rail­ way depot on a remunerative basis, proposals formulated by the British Transport Com­ mission will be'put into opera­ tion and the depot closed.


This ultimatum, contained


Council at their meeting on Monday. In his letter to the Council,:


In a letter from the District Goods Superintendent, Lon­ don Midland Region, Bolton, was put before members of the B ow l a n d Rural District


the Superintendent pointed! out that owing to the small amount of traffic now dealt with at Rimington goods depot It did not produce sufficient


revenue to justify running costs. The letter adds “ Proposals


have been formulated for the withdrawing of the facilities now provided by the British


Transport Commission at that point, “ The closure will take place


at a date to be decided later unless you are aware of local Information which will enable the goods station to continue on a remunerative basis.”


CLERK’S COMMENT

Baskett, Clerk to the Council, remarked. “To my mind It seems a bit difficult to talk about the Railways not being efficient and being subsidised, and yet at the time when they do .try to close down some­ thing which Is unremunera- tlve there is objection.” ’When the Chairman, Councillor W- Proctor, said that the closure would be bound to have effects locally, Mr. Basket't suggested that Information could be sought on what alternative f a c i l i t i e s the British Transport Commission proposed to offer, ‘
