application by Byngs International Coaches of Portsmouth, mpshire, to pick up day tour passengers in Fareham outside associated company's office was granted this week by the ith Eastern Traffic Commissioners.
The Commissioners did never impose limitations on the grant in view of an nission of previous illegal king up and setting down of ;sengers at this particular nt.
kfter careful consideration Commissioners concluded Lt public interest in leisure vel is often best served by mpetition and that the ngs application was not likely to cause abstraction of business from National companies Southdown and Hants and Dorset tours from Fareham bus station.
Byngs application was objected to by Southdown Hants and Dorset, Glider and White Heather Travel. The latter two companies both run by B. S. Williams. The commissioners also concluded that Glider had to an extent "slept" on their licences and that their presence was not particularly felt in Fareham.
The licence was granted although as Byngs had previously illegally set down and picked up passengers at Farehams, for reasons understood but not condoned by the Commissioners and they imposed conditions.
Passengers could only be picked up or set down on 16 occasions during the season (ie between April and November) and Sundays and Bank Holidays only.
Only 200 passengers could be picked up or set down at Fareham in one season.
A list of passengers picked up is to be sent to the Commissioners immediately after each tour.
All tours on which passengers are not permitted to be picked up in Fareham must leave Fareham via the M27 motorway and not via the pick up point.
Byngs must supply in advance dates of the 16 occasions and the destinations of the tours to use the Fareham pick up point.
