• An application to take over an express licence originally held by Cox's Coaches, of Bilston, was granted by Mr John Else, chairman of the West Midland Traffic Commissioners, in Birmingham on Tuesday, after the applicant, Mr S. Winkle, trading as Pathfinder Coaches, of Willenhall, Staffs, had produced evidence which showed that the service had been regularly operated.
The application was objected to by Hazeldein Hire Services Ltd, of Bilston, on the grounds that the express service between Bilston and Margate had not been operated for some time. The Commissioners granted the application after passenger loading figures had been produced which proved that the service had been operated.
