Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

IN a written decision, the East Midland .1. Licensing Authority last week refused permission to three operators to introduce new express services between the Midlands and Blackpool.

Yelloway Motor Services. Ltd., applied for authorization to run daily throughout the year (excepting Christmas Day) between Leicester and Blackpool, with picking-up and settingdown points in the area at Leicester, Birstall, Mountsorrel, Loughborough, Kegworth, Derby, Brailsford and Ashby urn c.

• Objectors were Barton Transport, Lid.. Robin ,Hood (Coaches), Ltd., and British Railways.

he main reasons for refusal were that there was insufficient evidence for increased facilities, and that there might have been abstraction of traffic from the existing Barton Transport-Robin Hood service between Corby, Leicester and Glasgow, and from the rail service between Leicester and Manchester.

Two applications by Yelloway.for the authorization of interavailable. tickets. on the London-Blackpool service with the proposed new service were no longer applicable.

Barton Transport and Robin Hood were refused permission to operate a new service between Corby and Blackpool, via Market I-larborough, Leicester and Ashby.

Yellbway, Trent Motor Traction Co., Ltd., North Western Road Car Co.; Ltd., Ribble.Motor Services, Ltd., W. C: Standerwick. Ltd.. Scout Motor Services, Ltd.; Lancashire United•Transport, Ltd., and British Railways, o jected.

This application, the hearing of which was reported in The Ccimmercial

otor on September 23, was refused mainly because there Was no evidence of need for the proposed picking-up point at Market Harborough, and because, in the case of Leicester, it would result in abstraction from The railways and from the London-Blackpool service run by Yelloway.
