THE Traders' Road Transport Asso ciation is supporting the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors in pressing the Minister of Transport to add a clause to the Road and Rail Traffic Act, 1933, giving legal cover to contractors taking debris away from working sites in C-licence vehicles.
Such operation featured in two recent cases, Wimpey v. John, and Woodrow v. Thomson, and it was held that it was legal, but the F.C.E.C. and the T.R.T.A. would like to see a statutory provision to this effect to make the position permanently clear.
When the Minister of Transport was earlier asked to express his views, he said that there was no need for further legislation as a Court decision had been made.
"DON'T MAKE ROAD TRAVEL EASY" " WE know there are people who
VY want to go by road, but do not make it easy for them. Make them get up early in the morning; make them have a long wait at Manchester before going on to Glasgow." This was the
effect of the railways' attitude towards road services, said Mr. W. Biackhurst, for the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co., Ltd., when an appeal by the Railway Executive was heard in Birmingham by Mr. Tudor Davies, last week.
The company had applied to run a service from Birmingham to Glasgow, but on the advice of the West Midland Licensing Authority suggestions were made about the timings of the Birmingham-Manchester and Manchester-Glasgow routes. Th e se were approved and the appellants contended that a "brand new service" had been brought about.
Mr. Maurice Holmes, for the Executive, denied that his client adopted an unfriendly attitude towards road facilities. The railways sought protection. Their case was that existing coach services could be improved.
A new Order, S.I. 1952 No. 1157, has been published by the Board of Trade, consolidating all the various export licensing regulations.
