AN experimental direct road service with A-licence vehicles between England and the
Continent, which was held up at a critical stagy by the requisitioning of the Tilbury-Antwerp ferry vessels during the Suez crisis, was resumed last Sunday by A One Transport (Leeds), Ltd.
Mr. Wilfred Goulthorp left Leeds for Spain with a 7-ton 16-cwt. heavy-duty centre la:he on an Atkinson 8-tonner. The lathe, made by Churchill-Redman, Ltd., Halifax, was in a crate measuring 15 ft. 6 in. by 5 ft. 6 in. by 5 ft. 7 in., and will be delivered at the Barcelona Trade Fair exhibition. After being on show it will go into service in Spain.
The itinerary covers 200 miles a day "via the Tilbury-Antwerp ferry, Paris, Chateauroux, Toulouse, Carcassonne and from Perpignon along the coast.
With an eye on the long-distance potentialities of transport in the European Free Market, the company will specialize in door-to-door service. A large number of inquiries has been received and a regular service will shortly be in operation.
SECOND LICENCE CHANGE SINCE 1939
WHEN Stanley Finlayson, Ltd., Brampton, near Carlisle, successfully applied to the Northern Licensing Authority last week to add a third vehicle to their B licence, it was stated that the business had been carried on since 1939 with two B-licensed vehicles, the only change having been an extension of the radius within which it was permitted to carry lime.
The additional vehicle would continue to e used for coal delivery, work which it had done under C licence. Mr. G. A. Ferry, director of the company, said • that coal and haulage work was increasing. The vehicle was required to carry for Messrs. S. J. Binning, coal factors, • Carlisle, Naworth Lime Works and Midgeholme Granite. Ltd.
CUTTING DOCK DELAYS
ADOCK transport co-ordination office has been established by the Manchester Ship Canal Co. in an endeavour to expedite deliveries to consignees. Hauliers and other transport users are being asked to give advance notification of when they intend to collect from the docks so that the authorities can plan the availability of cranes and labour.
Handling of grain, cotton and timber 'is already being co-ordinated and it is now intended to extend the plan
