ABUS company seeks to reduce fares on its express services to the coast because it was recently granted bigger increases than it wanted owing to a clerical error in the company's office.
Crosville Motor Services Ltd., of Chester, are applying to the Traffic Commissioners for permission to reduce fares on the daily summer service between Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffs, and North Wales by amounts ranging from 3s. to 5s. 6d. return.
Mr. Roy Anderson, area manager for the bus company, said this week that the fares had been increased at Whitsun when the summer service began, but it had subsequently been discovered that because of a clerical error the wrong fare scale had been granted.
He added: "We want to rectify this and have to apply to the Traffic Commissioners, even though it means a reduction. It is our practice to be in line with the other operators because we always try to avoid anomalies."
