ON Tuesday the Yorkshire Traffic Commissioners, granted in part an application by Charles Wood Ltd., of Brighouse, which would take effect after the Commissioners had gone through the company's fares list. The grant would likely be restricted to Sundays, Bank holidays and holiday weeks, together with an increased allowance of one vehicle.
On excursions starting from Southgate, Wyke, the company sought to increase the maximum number of vehicles to be operated on any one day from one vehicle to three; to amend the period of operation of excursions to five destinations to
throughout the year "; and to operate additional .excursions to 18 destinations from April 1 to October 31 inclusive and Easter, to Kirby Misperton and Flamingo Park throughout the year, to Spalding during the tulip season and to Leeds for special events.
For the applicant company, Mr. J. D. Walker said the licence had been held since 1950 and 18 months ago the share capital had been acquired by Davisons of Brighouse. All the 21 additional excursions applied for were authorized from Brighouse by Davisons or Wood.
A director of the company, Mr. C. Davison, said their coach tours were the only ones starting from Wyke, which now had a population of some 10,000, and the present authorized facilities were inadequate. Wyke was three miles from Brighouse and four-five miles from Bradford and the inhabitants had come to expect the same facilities as those existing from Brighouse.
The stage-carriage service between Wyke and Bradford was not always convenient to join excursions from there, particularly on Sundays and Bank holidays. said Mr. Davison. The Manchester Belle Vue excursion was restricted to.football matches which had been discontinued. The increased vehicle allowance was required to offer a choice of destination.
Cross-examined by Mr. F. Marshall for objectors Wallace Arnold Tours Ltd., Feather Brothers, G. W. Kitchin and Sons and Wardways Ltd., Mr. Davison agreed that Wyke was within the city of Bradford boundary and that the Corporation maintained a weekday service from early morning to late night at 15-minute intervals, but maintained that some of the early buses were filled with work people.
The traffic manager of Wallace Arnold, Mr. G. Steele, appearing for all four objectors, said they took the view that the facilities from and to Bradford were adequate and that the objectors between them covered the destinations sought.
In cross-examination, Mr. Steele said a vehicle allowance increased to three was ambitious.
