• The Transport Tribunal has refused to re-open the Clayton Jones Group appeals against 0licence revocation.
In January the Tribunal dismissed appeals by Clayton Jones Coach Tours, Celtic Connection, Rhondda Travel and Shamrock Private Hire Services (CM 18-24 January).
Clayton Jones claimed that he was denied "natural justice" when the licences were revoked by South Wales Deputy Traffic Commissioner Gerrard Sullivan in December (CM 1420 December), maintaining that important evidence was withheld. He had called for Traffic
Area staff, including the clerk to the commissioner, Reg Dodd, to give evidence on behalf of Clayton Jones Coach Tours and Shamrock.
Now Clayton Jones wants to register services in Cwmbran and Rhondda, and has lodged applications with the Traffic Commissioner for two new 0licences. In February his wife, Alison Jones, was granted a licence for 48 vehicles and Bebb Travel, which spent 2500,000 on new vehicles to run on Pontypridd routes previously operated by Clayton Jones, has withdrawn from those services. The company is "incredulous" that Mrs Jones was granted a licence, and predicts a ratings war which could jeopardise under-subscribed bus services. 0 RH & DT Edwards, which operates vehicles, staff and premises formerly run by Clayton Jones, is being called to a public inquiry.
