were cancelled for a fortnight last week by Eastern Traffic Commissioner Brigadier Compton Boyd, because of irregularities in their operation.
Competitors Midland Fox and G K Kinch complained that three services between Leicester and Loughbrough had been operating on a new timetable since November, instead of from the authorised date of 1 December. The services had not then reverted back to the old timetable following the completion of roadworks. County Travel maintained that it would have been impracticable to have reverted to the old timetable for a short period when the road was reopened early, as 25,000 new timetables had been published. It was conceded that a 22:00hrs journey on the Fleckney service had been introduced early as a result of an administrative oversight. (CM 24 February-2 March).
