Primrose Coaches timetable Summer 1974 Page 5

From 1973 there was a gradual build up of feeder services from outlying areas to connect with the Tyneside-Lancashire holiday services by both Primrose Coaches and by Ribble/Northern General working as National Express. Page 5 of the summer 1974 Primrose Coaches timetable shows their feeder services offered from Ashington and Prudhoe to connect at Newcastle-upon-Tyne and from Willington and Crook to connect at Bishop Auckland.
