Primrose (Graham) EPT 644G circa 1975

Circa 1975 - The Primrose Coaches name was shared between R & M Bisset Limited of Ryton-on-Tyne and Graham Bros of Winlaton Mill for the operation of a service between Tyneside and the Fylde Coast which commenced in May 1928, the predecessors of the latter day partners each providing one coach so that a daily service could be operated in each direction. This arrangement existed until Bisset acquired Graham Bros in the late 1970s or early 1980s (certainly by 1983). Graham Bros EPT 644G, a 1969 seen at Rigby Road coach park in Blackpool prior to loading homeward bound holidaymakers returning to the north east.
