NO MERSEY TUNNEL BUSES YET
A'important principle is laid down iii the decision of the NorthWestern Traffic Commissioners to on by C refuse the application Motor Services, Ltd., to run a stagecarriage service from Birkenhead to Loggerheads, Mold Station and Pensarn, via the Mersey Tunnel to Hoham Street, Liverpool. Ferry and Mersey Railway interests are opposed to stage-carriage facilities through the new tunnel, and the Commissioners are careful, to point out that, although no inter-urban (that is, Liverpool-Birkenhead) application was before them, they had in mind " the traffic, congestion, in Liverpool arising from the continual augmenting of purely local services and the further avoidable congestion which would result from the introduction into the city of extra local services, unless merged as part of a co-ordinated and comprehensive scheme." The Commissioners, who have freely granted excursion and tour operators permission to use the tunnel route as an alternative to the ferry, inform the applicant that they are satisfied the extension is no immediate necessityfed that extension of the stage-carriage service into Liverpool.
