rONTINUING the policy of restrict
ing the use of 30-ft. long and 8-ft. wide single-deck vehicles in certain parts of the area, the Metropolitan Licensing Authority has now prohibited the running of longer and wider double-deck buses in the Bishop's Stortford area.
Granting the Eastern National Omnibus Co., Ltd., a licence to operate between Bishop's Stortford and Saffron Walden, the Licensing Authority states that not only will these larger vehicles be prohibited, but single-deckers seating more than 35 persons will not be allowed and no double-decker may be used on this route if the distance between the centre line of the rear axle and the front of the vehicle exceeds 20 ft. Present types of double-decker chassis are in most cases within the limit but 27-ft. double-deckers would be too long.
