AN application that was described by the chairman of the NorthWestern Traffic Cornmisgioners (Mr. W. Chamberlain) as being on 'the snowball method," came up at a Manchester sitting, on Monday last, when Messrs. J. F. and H. Sykes sought the renewal of the Sale-Blackpool expressservice licence and for permission to make Edgeley (Stockport) the originating point. Various fresh pickingup points were also applied for. The applicants, it was stated, already had a daily Cheadle Heath-Blackpool excursion in the summer that joined up with the express service at Sale.
On some occasions the same coach carried excursion passengers from Cheadle Heath and express passengers from Sale, said Mr. John Sykes. They were not allowed by the excursion licence to pick up at Sale, he con-. tinned, but had both express and excursion coaches been run every day they could not have kept to the limits of vehicle journeys imposed under Appeal Order No. 9 on the Blackpool service.
The North-Western Road Car Co.,, Ltd., which objected, commented that, by joining up the two services at Sale, an express licence for Cheadle Heath was obtained without asking for it.
"Do you hold that Messrs. Sykes, on an excursion and tours licence for Cheadle Heath, can exchange passengers to the express service at Sale, where they have no picking-up point on that licence? " asked the chairman. " I am not going to say that is correct according to the regulations," replied Mr. F. Hindle (for Messrs. Sykes).
" You may take it that the Commissioners would not permit it. An extraordinary position is set up. It is, in effect, an express service from Cheadle Heath to Blackpool, the exclusion from Cheadle Heath being a feeder for the Sale-Blackpool express service."
The Sale-Blackpool licence was renewed. The Edgeley licence was not granted and decision on the modifications was reserved.
