Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

nVER 20 prospective passengers wish

ing to go to Clacton for their holidays supported joint applications by Yelloway Motor Services, Ltd.. and Premier Travel, Ltd., at Manchester on Tuesday. The applicants wished to operate express services from Blackpool and Blackburn to Clacton, via Leicester. The services would also cater for members of the public from Clacton. Cambridge, Colchester and Haverhill, who wished to travel to Blackpool.

Mr. F. D. Walker, for the applicants. stated that they wanted the period of operation to be from the Friday before Whit Monday to the last Saturday in September. Departures would be in each direction on Friday night and Saturday

morning. After the two services converged on Manchester their routes and timetables would be identical.

Since 1955, a link service had been operated from the North to Leicester by Yelloway and then onwards by Premier Travel. The principal reason for the application was to eliminate the change at Leicester.

The application was opposed by W. Robinson and Sons, Ltd., of Great Harwood, who operate an inclusive seven day tour to Clacton.

The case is to be continued.
