from a rails correspondent The demand for a special recalled annual conference to discuss the liner train issue is growing within the N.U.R. The North Midland District Council has added its voice to that of the West Midlands in demanding a delegate meeting. The district council resolutions to this effect are unconstitutional since an emergency general conference can only be called for by the Executive or at the request of one-third of the N.U.R.'s 1,000 branches, but it indic-~ ates the strong opposition to the liner trains which the British Railways Board will meet when it tries to implement its first service to Glasgow at the turn of the year. This demand reflects the concern among those opposed to the service that the N.U.R. Executive might change its mind. Last time it discussed liner trains @ proposal to accept the service on the terms proposed by the Board was defeated by a very narrow margin.
