THE co-ordination agreements
between the Scottish Omnibuses group and English operators of express services from the Midlands and the north-west to Glasgow, following the terminal grants, received the approval of the North Western Traffic Commissioner § at Manchester last week.
Mr. W. Blackhurst, for the joint operators, said their applications were in four groups. The first was a backing application for a new joint service by Scottish Omnibuses, Ltd., the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co., Ltd„ Ribble Motor Services, Ltd., and North Western Road Car Co., Ltd., between Birmingham and Glasgow; to be run exactly as the former Northern Roadways service, with the exception of an overall increase in speed from 22.45 to 24.54 m.p.h.
The second was an application by Western S.M.T. Co., Ltd., to become partners in Ribble's Manchester-Glasgow night service, and the third a new backing for Western S.M.T. to operate jointly with B.M.M.O., Ribble and North Western, on the new CoventryManchester-Glasgow service. It was also sought to withdraw the applications by B.M.M.O., North Western and Ribble for a• new joint BirminghamGlasgow service.
After Mr. Blackhurst had agreed to a representation by J. Smith (Wigan), Ltd., that the existing conditions regarding the carriage of Easyway tour passengerson the Manchester-Glasgow service should be enforced on the new licence, the applications were granted.
