Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Smith Tours (Wigan) Ltd., will have to move its St. Helens picking-up point from outside its booking office to another site, in future. Last month (CM March 22), the company sought to renew a road service licence but objection was made by St. Helens Chief Constable on the grounds that the coaches added to the traffic congestion in Bridge Street The North Western Traffic Commissioners adjourned the hearing to visit the area personally and have since ruled that Smiths must now pick up in Birchley Street.

• Drivers of one-man buses which carry more than eight standing passengers on single-deck vehicles are being offered a bonus of 16 per cent by Hartlepool Corporation.

• Newcastle upon Tyne Corporation is to ask Transport Minister Mr. Marsh to agree to the introduction of concessionary bus fares for people below retirement age who are disabled and unable to work. Mrs. Castle had turned dawn the request. The transport committee of the new Tees-side County Borough is to receive a report on a system of cheap fares for pensioners.
