pRIVATE-CAR. owners, whom_ he described as " pin-money pirates." were threatening the livelihood of bus workers, said Mr. George Brook, general manager, North Western Road Car Co. Ltd., in Manchester on Tuesday.
"On certain of our services we believe that car owners are accepting payment from -fellow-workers for taking them to and from work regularly," he said.
This had already compelled the company to withdraw one workmen's service. Several other services were also being reviewed, and might have to be abandoned or pruned if private-vehicle 'owners continued to drain the buses of . passengers.
Mr. Brook would not specify, the services. because the company might seek legal redress against some car owners.
The company had been compelled to withdraw a ,workmen's service between Congleton and Woodford, Cheshire. This had been introduced in 1957 after urgent representations had been made on behalf of aircraft workers at the Avro factory, Woodford.
OBJECTORS ALLEGE TRESPASSING WHEN Lingley's Sale Away Touring VI' Co., Ltd., applied to the North Western Traffic Commissioners on Tuesday to move certain picking-up and setting-down points, allegations were made by the objectors that Lingley's were trespassing on their area.
The Dragon Motor Engineering Co., Ltd., claimed that one of the proposed points was only 200 yd. away from theirs. A grant of the application would cause abstraction of traffic.
Mrs. A. Crocker, a director of Dragon, said that it had been the concern's intention to make a counter-application, but as one of the chief witnesses had become ill this had to be withdrawn.
Mr. F. Williamson, chairman, said that the application would be granted, and observed that the Old Trafford area warranted more tours facilities.
WORKERS WANT A SAY INION representatives of Glasgow's 7,000 'transport workers decided last week that there will be no "operation without consultation" of the 169 new 72-seat buses ordered by the transport department. They want to voice opinions on the number of standing passengers the buses are to carry. • Mr. E. R. L. Fitzpayne, general manager of the department, said that it was too early to say what was going to happen. The new buses were not due to come into operation until December, 1961.
