WpIETHER the period from May 1 WY to July 31 was reasonably and fairly to be taken as the period covered by the Coronation, was the question asked at an appeal hearing in Manchester last week, The Railway Executive was appealing .against a decision of the Northern Licensing Authority granting Ribble Motor Services, Ltd., W. C. Standerwick— Ltd., and Scout Motor Services, Ltd., permission to Tun 21 additional vehicles a day on the joint Keswick-London service.
For the appellant, Mr. Philip Kershaw declared that it was wholly unreal to regard three months as the Coronation period. The 21 vehicles authorized, if they accommodated 30 passengers each, could carry 57,960 people in 92 travelling days. "We are not in any way Jerenniahs, seeking to deny the rightfulness of the public having really generous travelling facilities for the Coronation period," said Mr. Kershaw, "but in the absence of real evidence of need, the usual principles should be applied."
The railways were also appealing against grants by the North Western Licensing Authority for the period May 16 to July 31, said Mr. W. Blackhurst, fbr the respondents: The Minister should hear the appeals together. Mr. J. M. Glen, who heard the ease, said he would comment on this suggestion in his report.
" Many people in Lancashire go to London only once in a lifetime," said Mr. Blackhurst. "When you get the added attraction of the 1Coronation, think of all the People who will go hoping to see the Queen."
