Yelloway Devonian service timetable - Summer 1948

The Yelloway 'Devonian' service had its origins in 1929 operated by Holt Bros (Rochdale) Limited as the 'Devon Express'. It became one of the most important services operated by the company and connections could be made at various places on route most notably at Cheltenham, with the services of Associated Motorways, and Exeter, with the services of Royal Blue. In April 1948 Yelloway applied for approval to operate the service daily during the summer period but it took a few months before permission was granted. As a result the daily service did not commence until the 1949 season. Perhaps in anticipation of the hope that the daily service could have commenced during 1948 this timetable appears somewhat vague in stating 'Operating regularly...' rather than being more specific.
