• The Minister of Transport has refused the appeal by the Lincolnshire Road Car Co., Ltd. against the decision of the East Midland Traffic Commissioners granting to R. L., J. and F. Hornsby a road service licence for an express carriage service between Immingham and Scunthorpe.
The residents' application was for an express carriage service between Grimsby and Scunthorpe, with picking-up points at Immingham, Melton Ross and Bigg, as a feeder service to their seasonal express services from Scunthorpe to Liandudno and Clacton. The appellants in the first place contended that it was not open to •the Commissioners to grant the licence with a starting point differing from that applied for. In the Minister's view the Commissioners did not purport to amend the application, but granted the licence with a shorter route than that applied for, since Immingham was to be the starting point instead of Grimsby.
The Minister thought the evidence of need and desirability adequate for the service, taking into account the present and future traffic from the general area which would be served by the new route, and he also took into account the evidence of certain deficiencies in the timings of the connecting services between Immingham and Grimsby which would have to be used in the absence of a direct service from Immingham. The Minister found the issues closely balanced but accepted the conclusion reached by the Commissioners that there was sufficientevidence to make a grant in these terms.
