APROPOSAL • by Ribble Motor Services, Ltd., to start a stagecarriage service between Foxfield and Coniston, has been approved by the Northern Traffic Commissioners. This will replace a rail service which is to be withdrawn. '
The Commissioners' decision follows confirmation of an Order dealing with road restrictions in Ulverston Rural District. The Order allows stage-carriage services to be operated on some roads provided the length and width of buses are restricted.
As a result, the Commissioners say that Ribble must operate vehicles not more than 7 ft. 6 in. wide, or 27 ft. 6 in. long. They promise, however, that these restrictions will be removed if four parking places are provided.
It is expected that Ribble will start the service in October.
