route between Burnley and Comm had declined from 21,400,000 passengers in 1951, to 19.600,000 in 1957, the North Western Traffic Commissioners were told at Manchester on Monday, when Burnley, Colne and Nelson Joint Transport Committee applied to make permanent the frequency reductions put into force during the Suez emergency.
After the chairman, Mr. F. Williamson, had read a letter of objection from Burnley Rural District Council that the present 20-minute service between 9 a.m. and 12 noon—compared with the former service's frequency of 7+ minutes—had resulted in many complaints from the public. Mr. R. W. Gann, deputy town clerk of Burnley, said a census had been taken at a stage point which showed the largest number of passengers boarding as five.
Burnley Rural District Council were not constituent members of the Committee, added Mr. Gann, and it was unfair that they should object to proposals for helping the ratepayers of other towns who were subsidizing their transport.
A 20-minute service to Burnley, said Mr. Williamson, having regard to the census figures, was reasonable. Burnley Rural District Council bad not seen fit to come to the inquiry.
The application was mined.
