APPEALS by the North. Western Road Car Co., Ltd., Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co., Ltd.. Majestic Express Motors, Ltd., and Yelloway Motor Services, Ltd., against the refusal of the North Western Licensing Authority to remove restrictions on duplication on services from Manchester, Black burn and . Black pool to London, were heard last week by Mr. J. W. Nelson, Ministry of Transport inspector.
Mr. W. Blackhurst, for the appellants; said that there was a large unsatisfied demand for coach facilities and the railway services were inadequate at peak periods, especially during the
Wakes. The appellants were limited to a maximum duplication of 18 • vehicles daily during the summer, but from the Liverpool area Crosville Motor Services, Ltd., had unlimited duplication to London. This concern was State-owned and its application had not been opposed by the railways.
Fe r the Railway Executive. Mr. G, 11. P. Bearnes said that the 'original evidence showed rail services to be adequate except possibly during August. When he refused the application, the Authority had considered available facilities and found, them sufficient.
Blackhurst added: " If this appeal is allowed and it comes to a question of how much extra duplication should be allowed during the holiday period, I would suggest that the proper figure to take as a test would be the figure that was authorized during the Festival year, because even when those vehicles were allowed by the Licensing Authority, the railways, on their own admission, were over-taxed and unable to cope with the traffic at peak periods."
