77 Tons Sought in Northern Area
ONE of the largest applications to be published this week comes from the Northern area where Robsons Border Transport, of Carlisle, ask to add 10 vehicles of 73 tons each to their A-licensed fleet. The normal user is not given-a previous A and D number being shown instead.
An application from the eastern side of the Northern area may interest bulk liquid carriers. Tees-side Chemical and Engineering Merchants, Ltd., of Middlesbrough, ask for a new A licence to operate two tankers to carry tar, chemicals and other liquids "to and from all parts of Great Britain."
Tankers form the subject of the largest A-licence application of interest from the Metropolitan area. Davis Brothers (Haulage), Ltd., of London, E.3, ask for in additional five tankers, which they propose to acquire if their application is successful, to carry petroleum products within Great Britain.
Granary Haulage, Ltd., of Burton-onTrent, have made a large application to the West Midland Authority for five vehicles-they want a new B licence-to carry a wide variety of goods including foodstuffs, fertilizers and engineering equipment for one named customer. The vehicles are at present operating under a contract A licence which will, of course, be surrendered if the application is successful.
In the Eastern area, Gregorys and Hampson, Ltd., have applied for a new B licence far five vehicles. The normal scope required is to allow them to bring agricultural produce from a variety of towns all over the country to King's Lynn or places within a 75-mile radius of King's Lynn.
