Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

WHEN a joint application by Scout VT Motor Services Ltd. and D. W. Standerwick Ltd. to operate a new service from Preston to London with picking-up points at Southport, Ormskirk and SkelmsdaIe, was made at Liverpool this week, the North Western Traffic Commissioners reserved their decision.

Mr. F. D. Walker, for the applicants, said the service was new only between Southport and Wigan where it would join up with the present licensed motorway service from Blackpool and Fleetwood to London. The entire route was already covered by one of the applicant companies or by the parent company, Ribble Motor Services Ltd. and would require no extra vehicles.

Southport was the only large holiday town on the north-west coast not covered directly by the applicant company. Skelmsdale was the proposed area for a new town with an eventual population of 80,000, At this juncture the Commissioners suggested that they had in mind granting the application from Southport to London only.

Mr. H. Stockley, objecting for British Railways, said that the witnesses who had appeared had not given any evidence to warrant a grant.
