IN dismissing an appeal by British Raniways against a three-vehicle A licence grant by the North Western deputy Licensing Authority to Leinster Ferry Transport Ltd., concerning traffic to and from Southern Ireland via Preston and Liverpool, the Transport Tribunal has ruled that section 173(3) of the 1960 Act could only be construed to include persons providing transport facilities between places which can be served by road transport. British Railways had contended that its objection was relevant within the meaning of section 173(4)(a) of the Act because its facilities for transport by ship and railway were facilities between Ireland and England and Wales—places which the respondents intended to serve. In its judgment the Tribunal stated that these contentions were ill founded. Regard could be had only to railways, inland waterways, internal air lines and internal shipping services. There had to be a grant and, while three vehicles might be more than were absolutely necessary, the Tribunal saw no justification in reducing this in the absence of complaints by those affected.
