Each regular conductor will be issued with a locker in the depot and a full set of Accrington tickets, and it will be his duty to always keep a stock of tickets to last for four days and will be required to sign for them. Tickets will be supplied from the General Offices on Mondays to Fridays only. 2. When working the Haslingden and Rawtenstall route, the conductor will be issued with two more sets of tickets one for each section and these must also be checked for accuracy and signed for in the Ticket Book. Should there be any discrepancies then the attention of the Clerk or Inspector must be brought to them before taking a car out into service. Should this not be carried out then the conductor will be held responsible for any discrepancies. Extra ticket stock for these boxes must be obtained from the Offices in Haslingden and or Rawtenstall, and four days’ supply must always be maintained. 3. When starting a duty the conductor will be supplied with a ticket punch for which he will also be held responsible. 4.

When leaving the Department’s service or being transferred to another duty, the conductor must hand back this 5/- to the Chief Clerk, who will issue a receipt acknowledging its return. 6. Conductors will not be allowed to commence duties if they are not in position of this float for giving change. 7. On completing a duty the conductor must fill in all the columns on both sides of the Way Bill, to make sure they are correctly added up, before paying in his cash to the Clerk. 8. All the cash contained in his bag must be counted out by a conductor. The Cash Clerk will then return the 5/- and sign for the money received with the Way Bill.
