AN articulated bulk grain carrier on A licence was granted last week to Mr. P. R. Woodhouse, Crudwell, Wilts, by the Western Licensing Authority, Mr. S. W. Nelson. Mr. Woodhonse had originally applied for the articulated outfit and an eight-wheeler, but he told Mr. Nelson that he had since obtained an eight-wheeler on special A licence, so this part of the application would be withdrawn.
He said there was a demand for grain to be carried in bulk, a type of transport which would probably be considerably developed in the future.
Answering Mr.. R. Webb, for the British Transport Commission, he said turnover was 111,456 in the past 12 months, of which £308 related to steel traffic. However, he did not wish steel to be deleted from the normal user.
Mr. Nelson said he thought Mr. Woodhouse was wise, as steel might be developed later. If it were not specified on the user now he might find himself in diffieulties when the traffic did increase.
