N agreement was reached between two coach operators . in the Shepton allet area, last week, after one of them ad objected to the other's. application or additional tours. J. T„ M. V. and • S. Smith, the Fosse Garage, Pylle, anted more destinations and asked for 'eking-up points in several villages not erved at present. They were opposed by Mr. W. H. Green, who planned to seek similar licence at a later hearing.
Mr. S. P. Smith said Smith's operated tage services and their, tours were dvertised on these vehicles. Many eople had asked tobe picked up on the tage routes.
Mr. S. W. Nelson, chairman of the estern Traffic Commissioners, asked how long they had been running stage services.
Mr. Smith: 10 years.
Mr. Nelson: Do you find these services a gold mine?
Mr. Smith: Yes, sir.
Mr. Nelson: That's the first I've heard of that!
Mr. Smith. explained that they wanted to operate more varied. tours. He said Mr. Green had no licence for tours, and none had been run from the villages concerned since last November because Mr. Green had suffered a misfortune which Smith's had no wish to exploit.
There was no agreement between the two operators, although they ran some stage services covering the same routes.
Mr. Nelson pointed' out that he had to consider whether the public would be affected if Mr. Green were reinstated and only a few passengers booked with each operator.
After an adjournment it was announced that Smith's had agreed not to enter Batcombe or Westcombe, and Mr. Green would keep out of Upton Noble and Lamyatt. Granting Smith's application, Mr. Nelson congratulated the parties.
