Standing in the rain: that is often the fate of the hundreds of people who wait for Baildon buses in John Street, Bradford. Passengers are upset that there is no shelter for them on their side of the stop, while one is provided for the normally much smaller queue waiting for the Wrose bus on the other side. Many opt to stand away from the stop under shop awnings and they are then faced with a mad scramble to catch their bus when it arrives.

After considering proposals for cross-city services linking Forster Square with Town Hall Square, Bradford Corporation Transport Committee have asked the general manager, Mr C. T. Humpidge, to prepare schemes. This was revealed by Councillor A. S. Downey, chairman of the Transport Committee. "At the moment," he said, "people using some of the trolley services have to cross right through the town. Perhaps we might be able to change that." It is understood that the plan may direct motor-buses crossing the town along Broadway.
