+THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION, HE POINTED OUT. +FOR THE CONTINUATION OF SIZEABLE AND EFFICIENT FREIGHT SERVICES HELPS TO SUBSIDISE THE PASSENGER SERVICES AND SO ALLOWS PASSENGER FARES TO BE KEPT LOW.+
MR. GREGORY NOTED THAT THE ENGINEERING STAFF OF THE K.C.R. CARRIED OUT THE PROJECT WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN ESTABLISHMENT. THERE WERE NO DELAYS TO TRAIN SERVICES WHILE THE WORK WAS GOING ON. +AT PRESENT IT APPEARS THAT THE BUDGETTED COST WILL NOT BE EXCEEDED, HE SAID.
+ THE MARSHALLING YARD HOWEVER LED TO THE EMPLOYMENT OF ADDITIONAL STAFF, INCLUDING NEW SIGNAL MEN, SHUNTERS AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS, ADDING SLIGHTLY TO THE MAINTENANCE COSTS, MR. GREGORY SAID. THERE WOULD ALSO BE AN INCREASE IN SUPERVISION WITH THE ADDITION OF THREE YARD MASTERS IN SHIFTS.
+ HOWEVER THESE COSTS ARE MINIMAL COMPARED WITH THE POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL REVENUE, + HE SAID.
