The men affected by the closing of Tinsley Park Colliery will be transferred to Nunnery, Orgreave, Treton, Westhorpe and Kilnhurst Collieries, which are distant from Tinsley Park 1½, 2, 5, 10 and 10 miles respectively. The majority of the men are going to the first three, for which adequate transport services already exist. A service to the fourth was started on 1st February. No men are at present being moved to the fifth colliery. As far as possible men are being transferred to the pit of their choice, which in some cases is nearer than Tinsley Park to their homes. While, therefore, the time during which some men will be away from home will be increased, for others it will be reduced. For very few men will travelling time be lengthened by more than 20 minutes. To avoid hardship, the Regional Controller will examine cases in which travelling expenses are increased or are a new charge on the workman.
