THE North Western deputy Licensing
Authority, MT. A. H. Jolliffe, reserved his decision on an application by Leinster Ferry Transport Ltd., Corporation Street, Belfast, which was concluded at Chancy last week: The application, which was part-heard (The Commercial Motor, February 1, 1963), was for six new articulated vehicles on A licence to be based. at Lodge Street, Preston, one of the main reasons given for their acquisition being to cut dorirn sub-contracting.
Opening the evidence for the objectors a British 'Railways representative said they considered that the applicant was trying to cater for future demands instead of those of the present; and the railways were quite able to cope with more traffic. The Preston superintendent of British Road Services stated that they had spare capacity on their fleet of vehicles.
