Paragraph 2 Cases where more than one existing licence held by a person has effect in a new area

the places specified as operating centres in a goods vehicle operator’s licence are all situated in a transferred area; and

the person who holds that licence holds at least one other goods vehicle operator’s licence in which the places specified as operating centres are all situated in the new area; and

there is not specified as an operating centre in any goods vehicle operator’s licence held by that person, a place situated outside that new area as well as a place situated inside the area;

the relevant licences shall remain valid notwithstanding the prohibition in section 62(1) of the 1968 Act on a person holding more than one goods vehicle operator’s licence in respect of the same traffic area; and

so far as is required for continuing its effect on and after reorganisation date, the licence referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) above shall have effect as if it had been granted by the traffic commissioner for the new area.

by virtue of this paragraph a person is treated as holding more than one goods vehicle operator’s licence in respect of a traffic area, and

on the date on which one of those licences (“the expiring licence”) is due to expire, proceedings are pending before the traffic commissioner for that area on an application by the person for a variation of another of those licences (“the continuing licence”), and

the application is such that if it were granted the person would be able to do under the continuing licence everything which he had been able to do under the expiring licence,

the application; and

any appeal under section 70 of the 1968 Act arising out of the application,
