WHEN the Midland General OrnniVV bus Co., Ltd., applied to the East Midland Traffic Commissioners for permission to take over the services operated by the Pinxstone Bus Co., Ltd., between Mansfield and Alfreton, the Trent Motor Traction Co., Ltd., objected on the ground that it served a bigger proportion of the route than did the Midland company.
It was stated that, over the past six months, the Pinxstone company had carried 271,989 passengers and had taken £4,400. The Midland company had come to an agreement to buy the services and goodwill, provided that the licences were renewed.
Granting the Midland company's application, the chairman of the Cc.mrnissioners (Mr. J. H. Stirk) said that it was most undignified for two such concerns to bring a squabble of that sort into public court. It was a dispute that they should have settled between themselves.
DIESEL-ELECTRIC BUSES.
QUR German contemporary, Ver ' kehrstechnik, reports that the Berlin Verkehrs Gesellschaft, which operates the bus services in the per. man capital, is carrying out trials of two Diesel-electric 75-passenger buses. The vehicles have Bussing 110-120 b.h.p. oil engines.
WEST YORKSHIRE" RESULTS.
THE West Yorkshire Road Car Co., Ltd., made a net profit of £58,044 in 1934, compared with £42,676 in the previous year, and £12,036 wat brought into the accounts. A final dividend of 5 per cent., making 10 per cent, for the year (as in the previous year) has been declated, whilst £12,030 is carried forward.
DRASTIC ACTION AGAINST OPERATORS
ABITTER struggle is being waged between road and rail in Holland. Bus services which carry each day hundreds of passengers from Amsterdam to Rotterdam and back, at less than half the fare Charged by the State railways, are regarded with great disfavour by the authorities, particularly in view of the big deficits on the railways.
The buses are repeatedly held up along the roads by State cOntrol officers, who compel the passengers to alight. The bus owners contend that their services do not deprive the railways of passengers, as they cater for persons who cannot afford to pay the railway fares and who would not travel at all if the buses were not available. A definite decision with regard to the dispute is to be given shortly by the courts.
