• Objections by the Merseyside PTE (southern division) and the SELNEC PTE were overruled by the North Western Traffic Commissioners in Manchester on Tuesday when Mr C. R. Hodgson, chairman, decided to grant express licences to two Lancashire applicants.
The first case to be heard was an application by Mr J. E. Johnson, of Liverpool, who trades as Jay-Jay Minicoaches. Mr Johnson had applied for an express licence to enable him to operate a workers' service between Wheatlands Close, Liverpool, and Plessey's Ltd, Liverpool, under section 30 of the Transport Act 1968.
Representing Mr Johnson, Mr P. Urquhart said that the proposed service would cater for 12 feMale evening shift workers who were employed at Plessey's and found it difficult to travel by any other service. He added that Mr Johnson had been operating the service on a free basis for several months.
Mr N. Bagot, for Merseyside PTE, pointed out to the Traffic Commissioners that although it was not possible to operate a service to every factory in Liverpool the PTE did operate two services which the workers could use.
On granting the application Mr Hodgson said that in the circumstances he was prepared to grant the application on condition that only the 12 Plessey employees were carried.
The second application, by St Christopher Travel Service, of Manchest was for a road service licence to operat( schools' service between Withington a Loreto College, Manchester.
Despite an objection by the SELN1 PTE, the Commissioners granted the keen after hearing that unless they travelled private bus the pupils of the college, all gi aged between six and 18, would have make their way through what t Commissioners described as "not a vc high-class area of Manchester".
Representing the company, Mrs B. fit had told the Commissioners that in the p certain girls had been attacked in the a] when left to make their own way hor The service had been in operation tb year but was financed by the Lon College. However, because the Coll( wished to regain some revenue it v necessary to apply for the licence in on to charge a fit fare. Mrs Hunt went on say that if the application was refused service would be operated as before whi would mean that the SELNEC PTE woi neither lose nor gain any passengers.
