DIFFICULTIES in the Selby area following the reorganization and linking of unremunerative routes run by West Riding Automobile Co., Ltd., were spot-lighted at a hearing by the Yorkshire Traffic Commissioners at Leeds on Monday. Mr. J. W. S. Moore. Cawood, applied to revise his time-table between Cawood and Selby, and to add a new terminal point at Biggin,
Mr. C. D. Chapman, for the objector, Mr. A. S. Burley, said that on February 27 last he took over a number of routes formerly served by the West Yorkshire Road Car Co., Ltd., between Selby, Sherwood, Church Fenton and York. A daily service was provided. Mr. Moore's services worked only on Saturdays. Sundays and lvlonda‘s, the best three days of the week. The new timings proposed were nearly all 5 minutes ahead of his client's departures, and, he submitted, they would abstract traffic.
After evidence by Mr. Moore that there was no late-night bus to Biggin, and that West Riding had Withdrawn 22 timings which had heen replaced by only four, the chairman, Major F. S. Eastwood; adjourned the hearing for a meeting about time-tables.
He commented that it was a pity Mr. Moore was not a member of the Passenger Vehicle Operators' Association, or a similar organization, as he needed advice. West Riding should also attend the meeting. If there was no agreement the application would be re-listed.
