THE application by James Paterson and Co (Motor Hirers), Ltd., Aberdeen, for a change in the normal user of their 24-vehicle fleet, was continued at Aberdeen last week (The Commercial Motor, January 23). Instead of local work, they wanted to deliver general goods throughout Scotland. with occasional runs to England.
Mr. A. Robb, an accountant with the company, said that although they wanted this change of user, there had been no material departure from the existing one —70 per cent, general goods within 10 miles, and 20 per cent, within 20 miles. In the year ended September 30, 1958, 78 per cent, of the tonnage was within 10 miles and 16 per cent, within 25 miles.
Mr. Charles Alexander, a director, admitted under cross-examination by Mr. R. R. Taylor, for British Railways, that an eight-wheeler granted in January, 1955, for carrying fish to markets in the south had not carried fish for some years.
and was now hauling whisky to London. He said the railways had taken away his fish traffic, but he did not agree that the licence should have been surrendered.
The application was granted after the railways had offered to withdraw their objection provided the proposed user was changed to: General merchandise in the counties of Aberdeen, Kincardine, Angus. Perth, Banff, Moray, Nairn and Inverness." The company agreed to the amendment.
