AREVISED stage service between Elderslie and Penilee, Glasgow, which would provide a 20-minute service instead of the existing 30-minute operation, was refused to Graham's Bus Service, Ltd., Paisley, at Glasgow, last week.
Local witnesses indicated the inconvenience existing under the present 30-minute service. The application rested essentially on the question of timing, Mr. C. FL Johnston, Q.C., told the Scottish Traffic Commissioners.
For the Western S.M.T. Co., Ltd., who objected, Mr. J. B. T. Loudon claimed
that the evidence was remarkable because all the witnesses indicated ample room on the existing services. Many of the travellers were free to adjust their travelling to suit the transport, and there was, he claimed,no real indication of inadequate service.
The chairman. said no evidence had beeh led that the present routes were not adequately. serving the area, and the only question seemed to be one of timing. There was also a need for data on loading, revenue and other aspects of operation which had not been presented.
