AFTER one day's running a free bus service introduced by the Batley and District Chamber of Trade has been prohibited by the Yorkshire Traffic Commissioners on the ground that it was being operated illegally.
The service, originally designed to run on the four Fridays before Christmas, for the benefit of shoppers from the outlying districts to encourage them to shop in Batley in preference to nearby towns, carried some 300 passengers on the Friday it was operated.
At a special meeting called by the Chamber of Trade it was said the service had been prohibited because it had been advertised and was running in competition with existing services.
The sec., Coun. A. Marwood, said an immediate application for a licence would be made.
