AN appeal by Avon Coaches, Ltd., against the grant of a licence to Wilts and Dorset Motor Services, Ltd., for a service between Netheravon R.A.F. camp and London has been allowed by the Minister of Transport, and the traffic is to be equally shared by the two operators.
Similarly, an appeal against the Western Licensing Authority's refusal to grant another Netheravon—London service to Avon Coaches has been granted on the basis of equally shared traffic with Wilts and Dorset.
Thus, a battle bitterly waged over several years has concluded with some satisfaction to Avon Coaches, Ltd.
Three appeals by Avon Coaches in respect of services from the camp to Birmingham granted to Wilts and Dorset have been dismissed, as has also the Avon appeal against the Authority's refusal to grant them a similar service.
The Minister has also dismissed the appeals of Wilts and Dorset against the Authority's refusal to grant them permission to operate a service between Amesbury. and Birmingham, and against the grant of licences to Shergold and White,Ltd., for a service , between Bulford and Birmingham. and to Messrs. E. and D. F. Stanfield (LarkhillBirmingham),
EIGHT MORE DESTINATIONS .
By an Order of the Minister of Transport, eight destinations have been added to the excursion and tour licence granted to Mr. Cyril Cadman by the Yorkshire Licensing Authority.
Mr. Cadman appealed against the restricted licence which was granted in respect of services from the North Eastern Hotel, Thorne, and The Circle, Moorends.
An appeal by Messrs. M. A. and C. J. Whieldon (The Green Bus Service) against the grant of permission to Mr. John Carney to operate a new group of excursions and tours from Longdon, has been dismissed.
" NO-WAITING '" CASE: DEFENCE PLEA FAILS
AVAN driver, Bryan Edward Suter, of Shrewsbury, pleaded not guilty at Shrewsbury last week to causing' a van to be left in a " no-waiting " area in Claremont Street. Police-Inspector W. J. R. Jones said that the van was left outside a warehouse from 9.30 a.m. until 10.10 a.m., during which time there was no loading or unloading.
Defendant said that he had unloaded at the market and was about to load when a consignment of bananas arrived and he had to move his vehicle into Claremont Street to allow the lorry with the bananas to unload. He was called upon to assist in unloading the fruit, Mr. Frank Moss, defending, submitted that the van was left in Clarec26 mont Street for the legal purpose of loading and unloading. Traders in the area were working under great difficulties and were doing their best to co-operate with the police. The inspector had been watching the vehicle for 40 minutes. It seemed that if he had all that time to spare, he could have called the driver and asked him to move the Van.
Suter was fined 10s. A number of other persons was fined similar sums for infringement of "no-waiting" regulations. These were the first cases to be brought in Shrewsbury under the new rules which came into force on January 25.
SPECIAL MEAT VEHICLES OVERDUE
THE time was overdue for specially designed vehicles to be adopted for the transport of carcasses, stated Mr. John Norval, chief veterinary inspector of Edinburgh, when he spoke at the annual meeting of the Meat Inspecting Officers' Association (Scotland). in Edinburgh.
A few special vehicles were working in Scotland, -but most companies still used open vehicles to deliver from the abattoirs to the retailers. Some retailers with many branches had, however, introduced better vehicles.

rtA BILSTON coach business, Messrs. Hardwick's Tours, has been bought by Messrs. Hazeldine Hire Services,
Oxford Street, Bilston. Mr. A. T. Hardwick is retiring. Ten vehicles will be used under the transferred licences.
