AT the East Midland Tra c Commissioners' court, at Not ingliam, last week, strong comments vere addressed to a bus company which applied for the abandonment of an =re

munerative service. Mr. S ' k said that, although the Com issioners refused to grant permission in the first instance, the applicant su essfully took the matter to appeal.

Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co., Ltd., sought permission to drop a service from Oak-thorpe to Moira Station during summer months, in connection with an L.M.S. Railway excursion to Blackpool. The ptronage had been insignificant, and, iii the circumstances, the railway company did not consider it necessary.

The chairman: "Some strong arguments were put before the Minister of Transport. You said we did iot know what we were talking about and did not know our district."

Mr. R. T. Cooper (for the ap licant): "The application was made at the suggestion of the L.M.S. Railwa , which considered that the facility w s desirable. We have operated it experimentally for two full seasons and t e results have not come up to expectiti ns."

The chairman: "We will nct give a decision to-day. You cannot blow hot and cold in this way." .
