THE Minister of Transport, deciding an appeal by a Normanton coach operator last week, granted a road service licence with a condition which imposed an age limit on passengers to be carried on a group of extended tours.
In a written decision following an inquiry at Leeds last July, the Minister reversed a decision by the Yorkshire Traffic Commissioners, who refused to grant a licence to Gillards of Normanton in respect of extended tours for elderly people from Normanton to Brighton, Yarmouth, Torquay and Llandudno.
The Minister said that whilst Wallace Arnold Tours, Ltd., who had objected to the application, could be said to have a strong case for claiming traffic from Normanton, this did not altogether exclude Gillards who, apart a local operator.
