'THE Minister of Transport has I dismissed an appeal by the Colchester Borough Council against the decision of the Eastern Traffic Commissioners granting to the Eastern National Omnibus Co. Ltd. a variation of conditions for a stage carriage service between Wormingford and Fingringhoe so as to authorize, inter alia, certain journeys from Colchester (North railway station) to Colchester (omnibus station) and return.
In deciding to accept the inspector's recommendation the Minister agreed in particular that the journeys now complained of were not likely to harmfully abstract from the Corporation's services and that the deletion of three of the journeys would remove through facilities from the North railway station to Rowhedge or Fingringhoe. It seemed to the Minister that the public would be worse off if the Corporation's proposals were adopted.
