JEWCOMERS to express operation, 111 Chapel End Coaches, Ltd., Nuneaton, were granted a licence to operate from Nuneatonto a new Butlirt's holiday

camp, at Bognor Regis, by the West Midland Traffic Commissioners, at Birmingham last week. The applicants, who were also granted a picking-up point in Coventry, sought to operate the service on five consecutive Saturdays frOm July 16, returning seven or 14 days later. Objections were made by British Railways, Red House Garage, Ltd., Wainfleet Motorways, Ltd., and Associated Motor ways, Ltd. • Giving evidence, Mr. G. A. A. Court, a . director,, said that the number of intending passengers so far were: five for July 16. 29 on July 23, 16 on July 30, five for August 6 and two on August 13. The small numbers of passengers were because there had been uncertainty over the opening date of the camp.

Cross-examined by Mr. W. Coombs, for Associated Motorways, Mr. Court

said that his existing licences Were for works services, but the company did private hire work and hired out coaches to other operators. Mr. W. P. James, chairman, said that nobody would suggest that the Road Traffic Act forbade competition. The Commissioners thought thatfor this "modest service" a case had been made out. They granted the application, but said that it would at present be limited to one year.
