Work is going ahead at full speed on the production of wagons for British Railways' liner trains at the B.R. Carriage and Wagon works at Derby. This works has orders for 146 of the 27-feet long containers, each able to hold 20 tons of goods. It is reported that some 60 men have now been placed on to the production of 15 of the containers each week. This being enough for about five freightliners. Thuis it appears that the British Railways Board, now they have Government backing, have decided to ignore the opposition of the N.U.R. nationally and the decision by North West railwaymen to black the trains (which will almost certainly Smulated by other important sections).
