Two Big Coal Tippers for Western Concern

AN application by C. W. Jones (Fuel and Haulage), Ltd., of Sherborne, Dorset, to vary their A licence by adding four tippers (37 tons 1 cwt.) was half successful before the WesternLicensing Authority, Mr. S. W. Nelson, at Bristol last week. British Railways and British Road Services objected.
Mr. T. D. Corpe, for the applicants, said that the application was being supported by a witness from the Southern Gas Board and it was most unusual to get representatives from these boards to attend public inquiries to support hauliers' applications.
There had been a previous application in 1960, said Mr. Corpe, when the Authority granted two additional vehicles, but they were subsequently removed from the licence by the Transport Tribunal who, said Mr. Corpe, took the view that because British Railways move 150,000,000 tons of coal a year it could not be held the railway facilities were unsuitable.
High-level Discussions
Mr. Corpe also went on to say that high-level discussions always took place between British Railways and the National Coal Board over the movement of coal and coke by rail. No coal could be moved by road without the National Coal Board's permission, and the railways would be aware of this.
The Licensing Authority pointed out to Mr. Dennier Priest., manager of C. W. Jones, that he had recently granted the concern two additional contract vehicles to enable them to carry for the Southern Gas Board, and he did not feel that a further two additional vehicles would be required.
Mr. Nelson eventually granted two additional vehicles of 18 tons 10 cwt. unladen weight.
