• Two small, independent coach operators who took over services which were axed by the North Western Road Car Co Ltd because of lack of subsidies earlier this year, appeared before a joint public sitting of the North Western and East Midland Traffic Commissioners in Buxton on Tuesday seeking new express and stage carriage licences (CM January 8).
Mr J. W. Mycock, trading as Lathkill Coaches, had applied for an express licence to authorize three services a day between Monyash and Buxton, and a Monday market-day service between Hindlow Hollow and Bakewell. An objection to the latter application was made by Henry Hulley and Sons Ltd. coach operators, and although North Western did not oppose either application it did make representations against both.
Mr Mycock told the Commissioners that on the withdrawal of the North Western services he had been granted emergency licences and had been operating since January I.
With regard to the second application, Mr B. Wooley, representing North Western and Henry Hulley. said that the objection by Henry Hulley had been made because Lathkill Coaches had been picking up passengers at Over Haddon at 10.10 am when Henry Hulley was authorized to pick up passengers at 10.16. He pointed out that this was a breach of the existing licensing regulation and a prosecution was pending. He went on to say that North Western had made the representations merely to point out that if the licences were granted Mr Mycock would have to observe the fair wage clause, maintenance regulations. and schedule and route regulations.
After Lathkill Coaches had agreed that it would not pick up passengers in Over Haddon the Commissioners decided to grant both applications.
The second case to be heard was an application by Mr Alec Douglas Holmes, trading as Holmes Tours, who was seeking a new stage carriage licence to operate a service between Hartington and Buxton. Mr Holmes told the Commissioners that his service was the only one available to the public living in Hartington and the surrounding district. Mr Wooley said again that North Western would not be opposing the application but was concerned whether Mr Holmes would carry passengers between Buxton market place and Buxton station as North Western still operated along this route.
After Mr Holmes had said that this was not his intention the Commissioners granted him a backing licence and said that he would have to apply to the East Midland Traffic Commissioners separately for the primary licence.
