LONDON TRANSPORT
EXTENSION OF FACILITIES TWELVE MILLIONS TO BE SPENT THIS YEAR. NEW UNDERGROUND STATION. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, December 31. This year will mark a new peak in the activity in connection with the £40,000,000 scheme for the development of the London traffic facilities, and during the year £12,000,000 will be spent by the London Transport Board on the underground and other line and station improvements in conjunction with the main line companies.
One of the new underground stations, Saint Paul’s, on which work has been proceeding for the past two years and which involved many difficult engineering problems in underpinning large buildings in the vicinity, will be opened tomorrow. The most important of London’s transport developments in roads this year will be further progress with the conversion from tram to trolley-bus, which is now approaching halfway in the matter of route miles. Provision has been made for 400 more trolleybuses in the 1939 programme.
