• The application by Barton Transport Ltd. to increase certain fares on the stage carriage service between Nottingham and Leicester was granted by the East Midland Traffic Commissioners this week.
The Commissioners explained that the application was made to honour an agreement made in 1932 whereby the applicant is obliged to charge at least 50 per cent higher fares than the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co. Ltd. on that part of the route between Cossington Turn and Leicester.
The Commissioners warned that in the future automatic increases in fares will not be granted on the basis of protective agreements unless they are satisfied that such arrangements are in the public interest.
