Premier passed through Barley, Reed and Barkway, but were not allowed to stop for existing passengers, although this would add only 10 minutes to the running time on the 82-mile journey.
Operationally it would be a• short 'extension of an existing service, whereas the grant to Mr. Richmond changed the whole character of his business. He had not previously catered for express or stage traffic to the same extent as Premier, but had run day excursions to Clacton.
