Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

E'XISTING ticket restrictions on sea 'sonal express services from the coast to London are to be perpetuated, and, in some cases, new limitations introduced, following a review by the South-Eastern Traffic Commissioners of the'position regarding these services.

The question of the issue of single and period tickets on seasonal express services from the coast to London has been under review many times by the Commissioners and by the Minister of Transport, who has, in the main, upheld the Commissioners' policy.

The Commissioners have recently reexamined the situation in view of certain anomalies. These have been brought about largely as the result of absence of objections to certain applications and the consequent decisions of the Commissioners not to limit tickets to be granted under them.

Up to the present, ticket restrictions have not been imposed on Keith and Boyle (London), Ltd., A. Timpson and Sons, Ltd., and Duval and Son, Ltd. (apart from three services to which special considerations apply). The services of these operators have, however, been included in the review.

These operators are to continue to be exempt from ticket conditions, except in the case of Timpson's London-Bournemouth-Paignton service (which is already restricted) and Duval's services to Bournemouth and Portsmouth, also already restricted.

Apart from these cases, 11 other applications have been decided. The issue of single and period-return tickets from the coast is to be prohibited on the services of Battens Coaches, Ltd., to Hastings; Blue Belle Motors, Ltd., to Hastings; L. Cronshaw, Ltd., to Hastings; W. King and .c54 Sons, Ltd., to Brighton; and Messrs. W. E. Penf old, to Brighton and Worthing, and to Eastbourne and Hastings.

"Singles " • will be allowed, but " period returns" will be prohibited, ,

on the Cionshaw SerVice to Brighton and Worthing, and on the Portsmouth route of the United Service Transport Co., Ltd.

The services of the Blue Belle company to Margate and Ramsgate, of the United concern to Brighton and Worthing, and of Venture Transport (Hendon), Ltd., to Brighton and Worthing, will be free from ticket restrictions.

The following are the numbers of single tickets issued in 1935 by certain of the operators concerned:—
