The Summer 1972 timetable for the Associated Motorways Cardiff-Blackpool service.

Associated Motorways was a consortium of scheduled coach service operators that provided a network of services mainly centred on a connecting hub at Cheltenham Spa although there were a number of other additional services.

One of the founding members of Associated Motorways was Red and White Services and their Cardiff-Blackpool service was one of those placed in the pool at formation in 1934.

(For those interested in the history of the consortium and how it functioned I can recommend the book published by Venture Publications in its Prestige Series, ‘Associated Motorways’ by Keith Healey published in 2002).
