Thee Railway Department urged that restrictions be imposed, particularly that buses be not allowed to stop within a quarter of a mile of the railway stations concerned. In announcing its decision the authority said it was satisfied that the company was catering for a very substantial volume of traffic, with which at present the Railway Department was not in touch.

It renewed the company’s license.
