ORDERS worth over £4m. have been newly gained by Leyland Motors, Ltd. Argentina requires vehicles to the value of £750,000, West Pakistan £250,000, Brazil nearly £100,000 and Australia and New Zealand £600,000. Other demands have come from Portugal and the Middle East.
British Road Services have ordered Leyland tractors to the value of about £750,000, and municipal bus operators have signed contracts totalling over £700,000.
Argentina is to buy 131 Leyland Worldmasters and 120 goods vehicles, whilst 145 goods and passenger vehicles are to be sent to West Pakistan.
Albion Motors, Lid., are to deliver over 70 goods vehicles to Nigeria, and Scamrnell Lorries, Ltd., six-wheel-drive vehicles for oilfields service in British Guiana, Venezuela and the Middle East.
Walsall Transport Department seeks to •purchase the prototype Leyland Atlantean rear-engined double-decker and the acquisition of a further 10 production models is under consideration.
MINES MUST NOT BE HAMPERED IT was wrong that coal production 'should be hampered by a shortage of transport, said Mr. S. W. Nelson, Western Licensing Authority, last week. He added that it was his duty to see that sufficient licensed hauliers were available to deal with coal movements and encourage output.
J. Smith (Bieknor), Ltd., English Bicknor, applied to add four vehicles to their A licence mainly to carry coal within 150 miles. Two vehicles were deleted from the application after Mr. A, F. J. Wrottesley, for the British Transport Commission, had explained that a railway coal siding which had been closed had been repaired and reopened.
Mr. Maurice Scrivens, of G. Reed (Transport), Ltd., who objected, claimed that each of his vehicles earned an average of £4,000 a year, but Mr. Nelson was not sure that they were available for coal transport.
The Authority granted an addition to the licence of two vehicles to be used normally within 60 mites.
NEW SERVICE TO .MORECAMBE BECAUSE of the inadequate rail service from Rotherham to Morecambe, the Yorkshire Licensing Authority last week granted Sheffield United Tours, Ltd., permission to operate an express service between those two points on Saturdays and Sundays next summer.
Mr. Ben Goodfellow, general manager of S.U.T., offered to deduct the number of passengers picked up in Sheffield from the company's Sheffield allocation. Maj. F. S. Eastwood, chairman, granted the application for one coach instead of two, but did not require the company to honour Mr. Goodfellow's offer.
