DESPITE objections by W. Robinson and Sons (Great Harwood), Ltd., and Rib blesdale Coachways, Ltd., a licence for football services between Burnley and Great Harwood was granted to Ribble Motor Services, Ltd., last week.
Mr. F. D. Walker, for Ribble, said the rail service for Saturday matches had recently been withdrawn and Ribble wanted to fill the gap. in the past they had been granted dispensation, and sometimes their buses had been tilled to capacity. • Mr. G. Dawes, a traffic assistant, told the North Western Traffic Commissioners that neither Robinson's nor Ribblesdale operated through services.
On behalf of the objectors, Mr. H. Backhouse submitted that existing facilities were adequate.
