AT Kirkcaldy on Monday, Andrew AT Wishart and Sons Ltd. applied for A licences for seven flat vehicles and seven articulated outfits with platform trailers, with a normal user of mainly goods for Nairn Williamson Ltd, of Lancaster and Kirkcaldy, throughout England and Scotland. If granted, the Vehicles would be removed from a Contract A licence under which they carried for Nairn Williamson,
For Mr. L. E. Wells (succeeding Mr. A. B. Birnie as Scottish,deputy ,Lcensing Authority in the Northern division) this was his first goods Vehicle inquiry in the area; he reserved his decision. , . The application was complicated by the fact that only a, -proportion of the vehicles on the ciampany's Contract licence was to be removed; Wishart operates 22 vehicles on Contract; seven on A licence and eight on B, most of them allowing for the carriage of Nairn Williamson traffic. The application was opposed by B.R.S. and British Railways.
Mr. Joseph Wishart, managing director, said that the contract vehicles were often, unavoidably, loaded only to 70 per cent capacity but the A vehicles were running full. Since one factory at Kirkcaldy had closed and the work had been transferred to Lancaster there had been a change in the linoleum traffic, he said.
-Mr. A. Bowman, transport office manager for Nairn Williamson, told the court that they inte.ndedto send more of -their . London traffic by -liner train in future but although Wishart would lose this part they would get more of the onward distribution traffic.
