AFTER hearing evidence on behalf of Double Ess Transport, Ltd., Thornton, Bradford, Mr. J. H. A. Randolph, Yorkshire Deputy Licensing Authority, granted an application for adjournment made by British Railways.
Mr. A. R. Sutton said that Double Ess wanted two tippers on special-A licence to be transferred to ordinary A licence. The normal user was coal and coke for West Riding coalfields to Lancashire, Durham and Scotland, and from Derbyshire to Yorkshire.
For the railways, Mr. T. B. Atkinson told the Authority that letters which had been read were from railways' customers. He could not accept the suggestion that road vehicles were required for longdistance coal haulage. He also requested that earnings from coal and coke traffic be analysed.
-LIMITS TO LICENCE
UNTIL recently the holder of an A licence had thought that he was entitled to accept any kind of traffic offered for any destination: now he found that he might be committing an offence by carrying anything different from that declared when his licence was renewed. said Mr. B. B. Marsland, secretary, Birmingham Horse and Motor Vehicle Owners' Association, at Edgbaston last week.
"We also object to the employer being prosecuted for something he has never condoned," added Mr. Marsland when he referred to instances of hauliers being prosecuted when a driver had kept false records.
Mr. Marsland urged members to press their M.Ps to seek legislation to put " these injustices " right.
NO EXPANSION BY CONVERSION
FLEETS should not be built up by the I conversion of vehicles, Mr. W. F. Quin, Scottish Licensing Authority, told Mr. I. Law, for Messrs. J. and R. Wright, Glasgow, last week.
The firm were applying for variation of an A licence for a vehicle of 2,-1 tons in place of a 1#-tanner. Mr. Quin recalled that similar changes had gradually increased fleet capacity. The firm handled fruit, vegetables and groceries in the Glasgow area, and sought to replace petrol units by oilengined vehicles.
The experiment of using a small van in place of a platform vehicle had not proved successful, and they sought to re-convert to platform operation.' The application was granted.
BRISTOW APPEAL POSTPONED THE appeal by C. Bristow, Ltd., 123 Solebay Street, London, E.C.3, against the revocation by the Metropolitan Licensing Authority of A and special-A licences for 47 of their vehicles has been postponed until November 20. When the revocations were announced in August, it was stated that they would not take effect until after the appeal hearing.
