	Dáil Éireann - Volume 216 - 09 June, 1965 - Committee on Finance. - Vote 41—Transport and Power.
		There was a reduction in rail freight tonnage and rail freight mileage, due mainly to the 3½ months' disruption in trade which resulted from the strikes in the building trade and in Dublin builders' providers establishments and to an overall reduction in sugar beet traffic and to a reduction in CIE's share of livestock traffic.
		Simultaneously the Board terminated the scheme whereby livestock traders were granted rebates based on their yearly freight payments for transport of cattle by rail; under the rebate scheme, traders whose rail freight payments exceeded £500 a year had been granted a rebate at the end of the year of up to 17½ per cent.
		CIE already provide rail and road freight services at considerable loss over the Western and Northern areas, partly subsidised by profitable traffics in certain very limited sectors, so that under no circumstances can it be said that the poorer, less industrialised areas are not receiving benefit from the entire operation.

	Transport Watch UK - Community Rail
		Because of their limited carrying capacity as railways, and because of the diminishing demand for bulk transport by land, they are being wasted, very expensively: they carry relatively little traffic at disproportionately high cost.
		In the study that advocated it, instead of going for conversion of rail into busway, Alan M Voorhees, the American consultants, assumed that the 11ft rail track would have to be converted into a 12ft bus lane, with 3ft verges.
		The evidence for this is the persistent decline in rail traffic in the past six years, despite £1,000 million of subsidies.

		This flag is still in use as the “double-arrow” symbol now belongs to the DETR (Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions) and is authorised for use by the railway companies and other purposes connected to the national railway network.
		(The majority of British Rail flags were presumably made from one piece of fabric rather than right- reading both sides.) Since the convention in flag books is to have the staff on the left, this accounts for the flag being "back to front" but it is not wrong, as Roy Stilling suggests.
		As far as I am aware, the British Rail flag was the only instance where it was acceptable to mirror the BR symbol although, from time to time, on roadsigns etc., one sees instances of the BR symbol crudely being reversed where it should not be!

		Another electrically-powered transport system could also be found in Sheffield in the 1950s, in the form of the city’s original tram system and a film made in 1958 from Beauchief to the city centre is an interesting reminder of the period.
		Sheffield is left behind on board a steam-hauled service in 1964, with a detailed film sequence that traces the 25-mile route from the city’s Midland Station to Chinley in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District.
		A famous feature of the area’s rail system was the Cromford and High Peak Railway which, together with film of the route from Parsley Hay to Ashbourne, highlights the diversity of rail operation that existed until the closures of the 1960s.

	The Third Rail - "American Ground Transport" page 4
		In April of that year, a Chicago Federal jury convicted GM of having criminally conspired with Standard Oil of California, Firestone Tire and others to replace electric transportation with gas- or diesel-powered buses and to monopolize the sale of buses and related products to local transportation companies throughout the country.
		In 1936, when GM organized National City Lines, 40,000 streetcars were operating in the United States; at the end of 1965, only 5,000 remained.
		But the last chapter of mass transit history has not been written and the Snell report views the present and anticipates the future as it looks at “the political restraint of rail transit” by the continuing efforts of auto makers.

		Besides, this is the sense that must be given to the application of inter national labour standards and in particular ILO Convention No.98, which enshrines the freedom of association of workers and the need to promote social dialogue through collective bargaining.
		Until then, the French decree of 20 March1937 applicable to the overseas territories had instituted joint employer-worker committees and authorized the conclusion of collective agreements in the industrial, commercial and transport sectors, though excluding agricultural and mining workers.
		But reverting to the period following the implementation of the Overseas Labour Code, it can hardly be denied that the Senegalese Labour Code Act of 15 June 1961 (loi portant code senegalais du travail) merely reproduced the bargaining forums established prior to independence.
