AN application by 0. B. Transport. Ltd., Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, for a re-hearing of a case in which the North Western Deputy Licensing Authority granted B.R.S. (Pickfords), Ltd. two extra articulated vehicles under A licence to carry carbon black from Stanlow to Inchinnan, near Glasgow, was allowed by the Transport Tribunal in London on Tuesday.

Mr. A. E. Whitehead said the appellants objected to the application and intended to present their case at the inquiry last June (The Commercial Motor, June 7), but were misled by a printing error in Applications and Decisions and were not present.

Mr. J. Edward Jones, for the British Transport Commission, said he would not have been appearing if it had been thought that the appellants had really been misled. He suggested that the objection had been lodged out of time because the application had been overlooked.

Mr. Hubert Hull, president, said the appellants had been misled by an "unfortunate error" and deprived of the opportunity of objecting. The decision would be set aside and the Licensing Authority would be asked to issue a short-term licence until the re-hearing had taken place.

NO " INSURANCE " AGAINST BREAKDOWN E Transport Tribunal on Tuesday dismissed an appeal by Mr. H. A. Edwards, of Pontardulais, against the South Wales Licensing Authority's refusal to allow the radius of one of his B-licence vehicles to be increased from 15 to 50 miles to enable it to be a "stand by" for transporting flour from Cardiff to Swansea.

Mr. C. R. Beddington, for the appellant, said he had one 3-ton vehicle carrying steel and tin plate from Swansea to Cardiff and return loads of flour from Spillers to a bakery in the Swansea neighbourhood.

He had no other vehicle he could use on this work, so he applied for a variation of the B licence covering two vehicles, which were limited to the transport of lime and quarrying materials for certain customers within 50 miles of Pontardulais, and all goods within 15 miles. He wished one vehicle to he permitted to carry all goods within 50 miles.

Mr. Edwards was not transporting Time and quarrying materials into Cardiff, but the transport of flour from Cardiff had increased from 320 bags to 800 bags a week. He was concerned about this important daily traffic and wanted to insure against a breakdown of the flour vehicle.

Without calling on the British Transport Commission, the respondents, the president, Mr. Hubert Hull, said the appeal must fail. "We can't see any necessity for adding to Mr. Edwards' facilities in the way he suggests," he said.
