Yelloway and joint operators Glasgow-Paignton timetable - Summer 1974

Originally passengers heading for the south west of England from Scotland could either travel to Liverpool and then take the Ribble coach services south or to travel to Manchester to take the Yelloway 'Devonian' service. (The Glasgow-Liverpool/Manchester services were jointly operated by Ribble and Western SMT). Ribble became a National Bus Company subsidiary and with the creation of National Travel their express services were then branded under the National name. This leaflet shows the direct service established in 1974 linking Glasgow with Cheltenham and Torbay which was licensed to National Travel (South West), Yelloway and Western SMT. National Travel assigned it with service number 735 whilst WSMT called it the 920. Gradually the service was expanded with a daily Glasgow-Cheltenham day service. Yelloway vehicles featured in the operation on a regular basis which saw their coaches regularly venturing north of the border on service work although the company's excursions and tours had done so for many years. This leaflet was marked 'Printed in Scotland', there was a different issue published by National Travel.
