AFTER a three-day hearing which commenced in January, Orange Luxury Tours, Ltd., of London, N.16, were last week granted a road service licence in respect of a series of two-day tours to the West Country, the Wye Valley, Brecon Beacon and the Peak District and Sherwood Forest, by the Metropolitan Deputy Traffic Commissioner. Mr. C. J. Macdonald.
For the applicants, Mr. C. R. Beddington said that the long adjournment had borne a certain amount of fruit. Since the matter was last before the Commissioner the Minister had refused an appeal by Southdown Motor Services, Ltd., the Workers Travel Association, Ltd., Glenton Tours. Ltd., Wallace Arnold Tours. Ltd., and Eastern National Omnibus Co., Ltd., against a grant by the Commissioner of three-day tours to George Ewer and Co., Ltd., and four other companies. Asa result of this, opposition to the present application had " thinned." Southdown and the other-companies in the appeal had indicated that they would withdraw their objections provided that the Ewer Group of companies (which included Orange Luxury Tours) would give an undertaking not to apply for tours of a longer duration than three days.
In return, continued Mr. Beddington. the Ewer Group would not object to Southdown and Glenton applications for twoor three-day tours commencing from their normal picking-up points, or three-day tours on the part of Wallace Arnold or W.T.A., starting from King's Cross.
After hearing evidence from members of the public in support, and evidence adduced on the part of the remaining objectors, Mr. Macdonald granted the application with a 10-day restriction on all tours with the exception of Wye Valley, which could be operated on only five occasions.
