Scotts Greys Coaches Darlington-Blackpool coach service timetable (1975 or 1980?)

Scotts Greys Coaches Darlington-Blackpool coach service timetable (1975 or 1980?)
Scott's Greys Darlington-Blackpool service timetable. Neither side of the leaflet contained a year but in 1975 and 1980 the 24th May was a Saturday. (In 1976 the return fare from Barnard Castle to Blackpool on Primrose/National Express was £2.90 which might suggest that year). According to the book 'History of British Bus Services - The North East' by David Holding, Fred Scott began operating this service in 1923. He had once been a tram conductor in Darlington and then delivered groceries using a grey horse. Around 1921 he acquired a motor wagon which he converted into a passenger vehicle at weekends and, taking the grey theme from the horse, adopted the name "Scott's Grey's".
