E EAST MIDLAND Traffic Commissioners have imposed licence iditions that will oblige five reluctant operators to co-operate er the provision of services in the Stapleford and Beeston areas of ttinghamsh ire.

'he instruction to Erewash ivel Services, Trent Motor lotion, City of Nottingham insport and Barton Transport lows appkications by Erewash January for a new service been Eastwood and Stapleford, 1 by Nottingham and Trent to arate jointly between Beeston i Eastwood. Their licences re granted then for a sixnth trial period.

kt a two-day public sitting last ek the Commissioners conBred substantive applications the operators concerned, all Nhom sought additional jourfs with Erewash seeking to end its service to Heanor ether with an application by -ton for a service between ipleford and Beeston (CM, Denber 4).

n their decision granting all applications, the Commisners said they felt there was astance in the objection of ttinghamshire County Counthat the lack of co-ordination he services applied for would ult in a gross over provision facilities. That must to some ent be against the interest of I public.

rhe Commissioners had noted apparent unwillingness of operators concerned to carry t their clear duties under the ?8 Transport Act to co-operate a with the other and the parent inability of the county carry out its co-ordinating du3 under the same Act.

:onsequently they imposed Iditions on the licences that a frequency and detailed timetables must be drawn up in co-operation with the other operators, that they should not be brought into operation without the prior agreement of the county and once in operation that they should not be altered by more than five minutes with out county approval.

In addition they imposed conditions on the Erewash licence that the fare scale be drawn up in co-operation with the other operators, that it should not be brought into operation without the prior approval of the county and that it should not be altered by more than the movement of the retail price index without county approval.
