TRANSPORT SECTION - DERBY.

The Transport Section at Derby seem to be so short-handed that they can neither keep records, nor give adequate running maintenance to the Experimental cars loaned to them.

We understand that they have sixteen vehicles, and one man to service them, who is frequently called away on outside work.

We recommend that the staff is augmented so that the vehicles shall at least receive proper maintenance.

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
