• New North Western Traffic Commissioner, Mr. J. W. Kane-, joined Mr. C. R. Hodgson in hearing an application in Manchester on Monday by Blundells Coaches (Skelmersdale) Ltd., for an excursion and tours licence to operate coaches for supporters of Liverpool and Everton football clubs for home and away matches from Skelmersdale with two additional picking-up points. There was objection from Ribble Motor Services Ltd. and James Lamb Tours Ltd.
The Commissioners granted Blundells the excursion for away matches for 17 destinations and a fare increase for its existing excursions for Skelmersdale FC matches from 3s fid to 4s and the additional pickingup point situated midway between the present ones. However, they felt that evidence was insufficient for the home matches excursions and that Lamb should be protected by refusing, as well, the grant of the second picking-up point.
