APROPOSAL by the Western S.M.T. Co., Ltd., to link two short journeys to make one continuous route failed at Glasgow last week. The company sought to link their Kilmarnock-Troon and Troon-Ayr early-morning services.
There was no desire to gain headway over A.A. Motor Services, Ltd., Mr. J. Farrell, for the applicants, told the Scottish Traffic Commissioners.
Mr. J. Gallie, for the objectors, led evidence to show that the initial run had been operated with the headboard "Ayr via Troon " in breach of the licence, and that substantial traffic had already been taken from A.A.
It was also indicated that certain passengers, knowing the same vehicle did the second part of the run, remained on it for the waiting period and continued their journey. Western S.M.T. sought to regularize the situation by a new through licence.
The proposed change was regarded as most serious, said Mr. W. Dodds. chairman, A.A. Motor Services, Ltd. He claimed that Western S.M.T. were now running at cut rates, giving 1.4 miles without charge. A.A. were the original and major operators and were anxious to maintain their rights. Loss of a single passenger involved a loss of £24 per annum.
A.A. were the only early-morning operators, and their object was to see that Western S.M.T. operated their 8.23 a.m. service properly, he added.
On the suggestion of Mr. W. F. Quin, chairman, Western S.M.T. withdrew their application.
