tters sought to operate tours varying from five elve days' duration in adto the eleven tours cur1 operated from Glasgow he nine from Edinburgh. e existing programme sts mostly of Continental but it does include a tour a Scottish Highlands and o Blackpool. The applicawas in response to deIs from Cotters' existing )mers for a wider selec)f British tours.
e proposals were opposed V. Alexander and Sons land) Ltd, Scottish .ibuses Ltd, Highland Omnibuses Ltd, Keil Coaches, Wallis Arnold Tours Ltd, and Parks of Hamilton Ltd.
The Scottish Traffic Commissioners heard J. B. T. Louden, for the three Scottish Bus Group companies, argue that the words "maximum number of vehicles one" in the published application meant that the company might only operate one extra coach per year on the additional tours.
For Cotters, it was said that the company's application had read "One vehicle per tour" but the words "per tour" had been missed from the official publication.
Cotters withdrew its application after hearing that the application would require re-publication before the Traffic Commissioners would be prepared to deal with it, and said it would submit a new application immediately.
