sioners have reserved their decision on the application of Ribble Motor Services, Ltd., to operate to the forecourt of Morecambe Promenade Station, instead of to the municipal bus station. It was stated that Morecambe Corporation, despite its opposition to the Ribble proposal, had started to operate buses along the streets which it had claimed were unsuitable for such vehicles.
It was explained that a system of inter-available road-rail tickets had been put into force and holders of return tickets to Morecambe could, after a certain hour on three nights in the week, return to Lancaster from either the Promenade or Easton Road Stations. At this sitting, it was announced that a conference was to be held between the Ribble concern and the London, Midland and Scottish Railway Co.,
with the object of extending the use of inter-available tickets to every day of the week.
On behalf of the police, objection was taken to the use of the roads in question and it was alleged that the forecourt of the Promenade Station was inadequate for buses, but it was pointed out that the premises would be enlarged.
