Mr. E. C. P. Lascelles heard an appeal by Premier Travel, Ltd., Cambridge, against the refusal by the Eastern Licensing Authority to authorize a Cambridge-Torquay service. Mr. E. A. Lainson, for the company, said that the application was reasonable and would offer a choice between road and rail facilities to the public.
Mr. Amphlett, for the Railway Executive, the Eastern Counties Omnibus Co., Ltd., Associated Motorways, Ltd., and the Eastern National, Southern National and Western National Omnibus companies, said that such a thoice already existed in the road services to Torquay passing through London. Only a few populous places had direct facilities.
He contended that little evidence of need had been produced. Mr. Lascelles agreed and the Minister has rejected the appeal.
The Minister has also refused an appeal by the Railway Executive against the sanction by the West Midland Licensing Authority of adjusted timings on the BirminghamManchester service of the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co., Ltd.
This was to be a convenient facility for Glasgow-bound passengers by connecting with the Manchester-Glasgow coaches of Ribble Motor Services, Ltd.
