CORONATION TOURS: EARLY APPLICATION
ONE of the first Coronation tours applications to be heard by the Yorkshire Commissioners came before them at Leeds, last week, when per'mission was sought to operate four. day tours to London. It was explained that the applicant firm already held a three-day licence, which permitted one day to be spent in London, but it was felt that en such an occasion as the Coronation one day would be insufficient. Furthermore, the hotels in London were insisting on a minimum petiOcl before they would book rooms.
One point made during the hearing was that in the future there would be a large number of similar applications, and the Commissioners were likely to be faced with a problem.
The Commissioners adjourned the application, which was made by Messrs. Feather Bros., of Bradford, for consideration.
BUS HOURS DISPUTE ENDS.
EMPLOYEES of the Central S.M.T. Co., Ltd., have decided to accept the company's proposals for the settlement of the dispute over working conditions. The proposals referred mainly to the alteration of the time sheets, so that -the hours of employment, which gave rise to the complaints, might be remedied.
BID FOR TOUR ALREADY RUN!
T AST Friday the Northern Scotland
Traffic Commissioners found themselves in the curious position of being ' asked to grant a short-period licence for a seven-day tour from Aberdeen to the Lake District and Blackpool, which had already taken place. When they learned that the tour hadsalready been undertaken without their permission, they refused the application, and Mr. Henry Riches, chairman, warned the operator concerned that he would have to pay the penalty for his action. The applicant was Mr. George Scott, Rover Bus Service, Aberdeen.
When the application for permission to run the tour on September 14 came before the Commissioners some time
ago, Mr. Riches adjourned the hearing until the L.M.S. Railway Co. had had an opportunity of lodging objections.
The railway company objected to the party spending two nights in Blackpool, and protested against advertising the tours before the Commissioners had given their permission.
Mr. Riches pointed out to the applicant that his request for a licence was not in order. If it had not been so misleading, be said, it was probable that the railway company would have taken no objection to it. It was later discovered that the tour had already been run,
LAST week, Newcastle-on-Tyne City Council endorsed the recommendation of the transport and electricity committee that the tram service on the Welbeck Road, Church Street and Stanhope Street route 'should be replaced by trolleybuses. Twenty-five vehicles will be used and tenders are now being invited for their supply. Ald. Richard Mayne (chairman of the transport and electricity committee) said that the trolleybpses already. in operation in the city had been a great success.
