Yelloway/Lancashire United joint service X35 timetable - Summer 1970

Yelloway/Lancashire United joint service X35 timetable - Summer 1970
An audacious attempt by Lancashire United Transport for approval to operate a service to Cheltenham from their operating heartland naturally brought forth objection from Yelloway. The end result was the creation of a joint service numbered X35 that picked up in a number of towns from where passengers would have previously travelled by LUT bus into Manchester to then go south on the Yelloway 'Devonian' service. Revenue was apportioned accordingly with Yelloway taking either 94% or 96% to LUT's 6% or 4% - I can't exactly recall the actual numbers. (Leigh is approx 16 miles from Manchester and Swinton approx 7 miles. Manchester to Torbay is around 280 miles. An average of say 10 miles for the LUT portion out of the total of 290 miles equates to approx 3.5%)
