Advanced Luxury Coaches, was seekinE authority to operate a six-day week service Sunday excluded, between Fish Lake ant Rawcliffc, running exclusively foi employees of the Lin Pac factory.
The objection by Samuel Morgan Ltd stage carriage operator, had been lodged or the grounds that if the application wa: granted Samuel Morgan Ltd would loose certain number of passengers as one of it stage carriage services, Doncaster t Rawcliffe Bridge, covered part of th proposed express service route.
However, the Commissioners decided to grant the application after hearing the Advanced Luxury Coaches had for som time been operating the service of privet hire to the Lin Pac factory. But because th factory wished to cut down the expenses c hiring a coach, it was necessary the Advanced Luxury Coaches acquired a roa service licence in order that a suitable far could be charged. It was also pointed out t the Commissioners that although Satrap Morgan operated the service to Rawclifl Bridge, this was still at least half-a-mil away from the factory.
