ON THE FIRST DAY of a two-day public sitting in Manchester last week, Mr. J. P. Beaumont, a director of Pleasureways (1955) Ltd., applying for the operation period of seven tours to be extended, told the North Western Traffic Commissioners that the tour scheduled for Tenby during the third week of May 1968 was fully booked.
The next day Mr. J. Booth, objecting on behalf of Happiway Tours (Manchester) Ltd. and Stanley Spencer Tours (Manchester) Ltd., said that, following Mr. Beaumont's evidence, an employee of his clients had phoned Pleasureways and obtained a reservation on this tour. Mrs. J. Dibden produced the booking form issued to her by Pleasureways.
Pleasureways sought to extend its Brighton and Weston-super-Mare tours by one week, Tenby by three weeks and Scarborough, Dunoon and two Southsea tours by five weeks.
For the applicant, Mr. J. Bowyer submitted that the only destination that objectors' tours had in common was Dunoon and only five picking-up points were similar. The extended season would enable the hoteliers to offer better terms.
Objecting on behalf of Ribble Motor Services Ltd., Mr. F. D. Walker pointed out that although Pleasureways said hoteliers would give better rates and the benefit would be passed on to the public, no application to reduce road fares had been lodged.
Mr. Booth contended that such a grant would bring 1,000 extra seats into the "early and late" pool, which evidence had shown was now not fully utilized. The application was refused.
