A FURTHER stage in the dispute riconcerning the operation of private buses through central streets in Glasgow was entered upon, last week, when the Central S.M.T. Co., Ltd., and the Lanarkshire Traction Co. applied to the Southern Scotland Traffic Commissioners for permission to start and terminate their services at the new bus station at the corner, of Waterloo Street and Wellington Street. Opposition is being made by Glasgow Cor• poration on the ground that any increase in the number of buses in that area of the city would cause congestion.
OPening the case for the applicants, Mr. R. Henderson claimed that the Central S.M.T. Co., Ltd., in providing the station, at a cost of £90,000, was performing a public duty, and they sought merely the necessary facilities to use it.
Recalling a previous objection by the corporation against the Lanarkshire Traction Co.'s , buses running in the city streets, Mr. Henderson said that 'the Court of Session had decided that the municipality had no right to compel the company to apply to it for licences.
During the second day'sproceedings, Mr. L. M. Turnham, of London Coastal Coaches, Ltd., stated that, after a thorough examination of the routes in question, he saw nothing to prevent the bus companies from taking the proposed routes to Waterloo
Street. '
The proposals were, however, strenuously opposed by the corporation. It was submitted that not only would the accommodation of the station be inadequate, but the greatly increased number of buses leaving the station, and travelling through streets which were already congested, would render the proposition quite impracticable.
After a further hearing on January the,, case was adjourned until
March 5. .
