How Far Should Protection Go?

SHOULD year-round express services with terminal connections to the smaller seaside resorts, be protected against new through period excursions?
This question was argued before the Yorkshire Traffic Commissioners at Leeds on Monday during the continued hearing of the application by Messrs. Rogers Motor Coaches, Leeds, to add to their licence 17 excursion destinations (including five twoor three-day tours), period returns to Whitley Bay, and an increase in vehicle allowance of from five to 10 on any day.
The West Yorkshire Road Car Co., Ltd., Wallace Arnold Tours, Ltd., Feather Bros. '(Tours), Ltd., the executors of S. Ledgard, and British Railways objected. Previous hearing was reported in The Commercial Motor on March 29.
Mr. J. Mellor, for West Yorkshire and their associated companies, said they operated through services all the year round from Leeds to Newcastle upon Tyne, Scarborough, and Bridlington, with a 10-minute connecting stage service from Newcastle to Whitley Bay.
A new through service to Whitley Bay during the six busiest weeks of the year could be dangerous, and coupled with additional vehicles making 3,000-4,000 extra seats available to the popular destinations, could take the cream from the express services.
Mr. J. Evans, for the applicants, said the addition of five more vehicles to the licence, limited to non-competitive destinations, could not affect the objectors' existing services.
Despite objections to the twoand three-day tours, no other similar facilities were offered in Leeds. Because an operator had developed new excursions, he should not be penalized by having to use vehicles from the competitive pool.
Decision was reserved.
