A PARTIAL backing grant was r-k given by the Scottish Traffic Commissioners at Glasgow last week to Buckmaster Garages, Ltd., Leighton Buzzard, who sought approval to operate express services from Dunstable to Glasgow.
The services were to operate on Fridays and Sundays during July and August and at New Year. Objecting on behalf of Scottish Omnibuses, Ltd., and the Western S.M.T. Co., Ltd., Mr. J. B. T. Loudon said that the present services were more than adequate, and that none of the witnesses had indicated any shortcomings in the service provided, Ruling that there was no case to answer, Mr. W. F. Quin, chairman, said that evidence boiled down to minor complaints arising from variations from timetable. Permission to carry traffic south from Glasgow was refused, but the Commissioners would allow backing to the decisions already indicated in the Metropolitan and Eastern Areas.
He added that backing would be subject to any further rulings arising from matters pending in the Scottish courts. If the licences already granted stood, the Scottish backing stood. If they failed, the Scottish backing would be withdrawn.
