ONLY three of 54 applications by United Automobile. Services, Ltd., for modification Of Christmas Day services were rejected by the Northern Traffic Commissioners last week. The alterations were granted after Mr. D. S. Deacon, the company's traffic manager,. had explained that there was a big gap between running costs and returns. Objections by Easington and StokesIey Rural District Councils and Billingham Urban District Council resulted in Mr. Deacon agreeing to discuss local services with council representatives. He pointed out that besides the economic aspect, there was the problem of having as small a staff as possible on duty on Christmas. Day. Where cuts were proposed there were alternative services.
