• Exercising his right under section 135 of the Road Traffic Act, Metropolitan Traffic Commissioner Mr. D. I. R. Muir granted a licence to Cliff's Saloon Coaches Ltd. on Tuesday to operate two-day tours to Swanage, Weston-super-Mare and Weymouth; the tours may be operated on 10 occasions in all for the next year only. The application was objected to by W. Wooten and Sons Ltd.
Mr. G. 0. Cliff, managing director of the applicant company, told the Traffic Commissioner that two-day tours were to be introduced because many of his customers considered that the longer types of one-day tours were too tiring. He had made tentative arrangements with hotels and estimated that the tours would cost in the region of £5 or £6. All the witnesses called by the applicant expressed the view that some of the one-day tours were too long to be enjoyable; were they to include an overnight stop, they would be more to their liking.
Mr. W. Wooten, managing director of W. Wooten and Sons Ltd., said that his company was going to operate a two-day tour to Snowdonia this year. It had previously operated such tours but did not find them economically viable; it was now hoped to create an interest in these tours.
In making his grant, Mr. Muir said that he did not consider that there would be any abstraction of traffic from Wooten; he would, therefore, give the applicant the chance of proving the viability of these tours.
