FIGURES of £2,000 and £2,500 as two years' . earnings for two A-licence vehicles were far below their potential earning capacity and could not constitute evidence for ad additional vehicle. This was submitted to Mr. J. R. Lindsay, .North Western Deputy Licensing Authority, at Chester, last week, by Mr. H. M. Webb, for British Railways. He was objecting to an application by Mr. T. •J. Hughes, Kinmel, Abergele. for an extra vehicle on 13 licence,
Mr. J. Edward Jones. for Mr. Hughes, said that because of the narrow lanes leading to most Welsh farms, and the need for next-day delivery, he required a smaller vehicle to meet his customers' demands. The vehicle had been on short-term licence for a year.
'A British Railways witness said feeding stuff and fertilizer traffic was valuable. and they took a serious view of its steady decline in the area. New stores had been built at Denbigh and Ruthin, and wagons leaving Port Sunlight at night arrived in the Abergele area at 8 a.m. next day,. so deliveries could be made immediately. If it were a question of rate, the railways would meet big concerns on full loads.
Mr. Webb submitted that no case had been made out. The earnings of the vehicle on short-term B licence were £437 and, coupled with the A-licence figures, all three were under-employed.
• Mr. Lindsay said the contest was obviously between the door-to-door delivery of road transport and the double handling inherent in rail delivery. British Railways had Said their vehicles were just as manceuvrable, and both sides must provide a complete specification of the vehicles used for hill farm work. Decision would be reserved.
BUS HEATERS PLANNED DLANS for installing heaters on their buses are being studied by Accring
ton Transport Committee. The cost would be £7,000.
