Unlike Britain which had a countrywide coach service network most European countries did not have such networks and their railways provided trunk services fed by more localised road services. It was difficult for coach operators to set up point-to-point scheduled services like those that exist on the Eurolines network and other services like Flixbus today. <br /> <br /> During the 1950s a small number of services were established between key European tourist centres which were aimed at travellers wanting the freedom to create their own itineraries.<br /> <br /> In this extract from a 1980 Europabus leaflet a service from London (England) to Athens (Greece) is shown. (I don’t know for certain but I don’t think this was a through service and may have involved at least three different coaches - London-Dover/Folkestone; Oostende-Munich; and Munich-Athens). <br /> <br /> Departing London on Friday evening the arrival in Athens was Tuesday afternoon. The first part of the journey was from London to Munich (Germany) taking around 23 hours. Passengers then stayed overnight in Munich on Saturday night. On Sunday travel was to Maribor (Yugoslavia/Slovenia), a journey of about 10.5 hours. On Monday and into Tuesday the journey continued Belgrade (Yugoslavia/Serbia) reaching Thessalonki (Greece) early Tuesday morning and and Athens mid-afternoon.<br /> <br /> The northbound service departed Athens at mid-day on Thursdays arriving London on Sunday morning. <br /> <br /> In later years the London-Athens route marketed by Eurolines involved coach travel to an Italian port connecting to ferry services for the onward journey to Greece. <br /> <br /> (Note at bottom left that the leaflet was ‘Published by the British Railways Board’)</div> Europabus leaflet 1980 (Cover and part of page 5) <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/davidslater-spoddendale">David Slater (Spoddendale)</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/davidslater-spoddendale/52060002/in/album/1211502"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/00/02/52060002.129f613b.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="169" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">Europabus was a network of coach routes controlled by the Railways of Europe. Unlike Britain which had a countrywide coach service network most European countries did not have such networks and their railways provided trunk services fed by more localised road services. It was difficult for coach operators to set up point-to-point scheduled services like those that exist on the Eurolines network and other services like Flixbus today. <br /> <br /> During the 1950s a small number of services were established between key European tourist centres which were aimed at travellers wanting the freedom to create their own itineraries.<br /> <br /> In this extract from a 1980 Europabus leaflet a service from London (England) to Athens (Greece) is shown. (I don’t know for certain but I don’t think this was a through service and may have involved at least three different coaches - London-Dover/Folkestone; Oostende-Munich; and Munich-Athens). <br /> <br /> Departing London on Friday evening the arrival in Athens was Tuesday afternoon. The first part of the journey was from London to Munich (Germany) taking around 23 hours. Passengers then stayed overnight in Munich on Saturday night. On Sunday travel was to Maribor (Yugoslavia/Slovenia), a journey of about 10.5 hours. On Monday and into Tuesday the journey continued Belgrade (Yugoslavia/Serbia) reaching Thessalonki (Greece) early Tuesday morning and and Athens mid-afternoon.<br /> <br /> The northbound service departed Athens at mid-day on Thursdays arriving London on Sunday morning. <br /> <br /> In later years the London-Athens route marketed by Eurolines involved coach travel to an Italian port connecting to ferry services for the onward journey to Greece. <br /> <br /> (Note at bottom left that the leaflet was ‘Published by the British Railways Board’)</div> David Slater (Spoddendale) https://www.ipernity.com/doc/davidslater-spoddendale/47909956/in/album/1211502 tag:ipernity.com,2018-12-27,doc-47909956 Thu, 27 Dec 2018 21:28:33 +0000 2018-10-12T19:01:25+00:00 nobody@ipernity.com (David Slater (Spoddendale)) <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/davidslater-spoddendale">David Slater (Spoddendale)</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/davidslater-spoddendale/47909956/in/album/1211502"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/99/56/47909956.3edb458a.240.jpg?r2" width="173" height="240" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">Transline was a brand used by Eurolines for a range of services linking British cities and German cities/military locations that were tailored for families of the British armed forces<br /> <br /> Services ran from a number of key British cities.

The sea crossing is by Stena Line, the coaches do not work a through service and another Ulsterbus vehicle covers the short section between the Europa Buscentre and the ferry port in Belfast. Today my trip to Birmingham was on board Ulsterbus 691 which was seen just before we left Stranraer at 0954. The bright red funnels of the ‘Stena Voyager’ can be seen in the background.</div> David Slater (Spoddendale) https://www.ipernity.com/doc/davidslater-spoddendale/40893388/in/album/1211502 tag:ipernity.com,2016-01-16,doc-40893388 Sat, 16 Jan 2016 21:43:02 +0000 2004-05-04T15:30:43+00:00 nobody@ipernity.com (David Slater (Spoddendale)) <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/davidslater-spoddendale">David Slater (Spoddendale)</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/davidslater-spoddendale/40893388/in/album/1211502"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/33/88/40893388.a2ca59e0.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="158" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">Tuesday 4 May 2004 - Tebay Service Area, Cumbria. <br /> <br /> Left is Rapson's Coaches 667 (DSU 707) working the 0830 Coventry to Inverness National Express service 538. <br /> <br /> Right is Ulsterbus 692 (ACZ 6692) working the 1100 Birmingham to Stranraer portion of the Belfast service 921, a joint Ulsterbus/National Express (Eurolines) service.</div> Rapson&#039;s DSU 707 and Ulsterbus ACZ 6692 at Tebay - 4 May 2004 <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/davidslater-spoddendale">David Slater (Spoddendale)</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/davidslater-spoddendale/40893388/in/album/1211502"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/33/88/40893388.a2ca59e0.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="158" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">Tuesday 4 May 2004 - Tebay Service Area, Cumbria. <br /> <br /> Left is Rapson's Coaches 667 (DSU 707) working the 0830 Coventry to Inverness National Express service 538. <br /> <br /> Right is Ulsterbus 692 (ACZ 6692) working the 1100 Birmingham to Stranraer portion of the Belfast service 921, a joint Ulsterbus/National Express (Eurolines) service.</div> David Slater (Spoddendale) https://www.ipernity.com/doc/davidslater-spoddendale/43720984/in/album/1211502 tag:ipernity.com,2016-11-11,doc-43720984 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 17:36:03 +0000 1996-06-11T11:00:25+00:00 nobody@ipernity.com (David Slater (Spoddendale)) <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/davidslater-spoddendale">David Slater (Spoddendale)</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/davidslater-spoddendale/43720984/in/album/1211502"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/09/84/43720984.e7fb2d71.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="162" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">Tuesday 11 June 1996 (approx. 1100) - Ulsterbus 670 (AAZ 1670), a Plaxton Paramount bodied DAF MB230 new in March 1993, seen leaving the old Digbeth Coach Station in Birmingham bound for Stranraer on the joint Ulsterbus, P&O Ferries and National Express service 921 to Belfast. Ulsterbus outstations about six coaches at the Scottish port to work its own tours in addition to express services into England and Scotland in partnership with National Express, Eurolines and Scottish Citylink. I had a chat with the very ameniable driver, a Scot, who told me that a mechanic travels over from Belfast every so often to service the coaches and only in times of necessity do they (the vehicles) return to Belfast via the ferry. For the 1996 season there were three services worked in conjunction with National Express which were this Birmingham-Belfast day service (921), the London night service (920) plus a new one for 1996 to Nottingham via Preston, Manchester and Sheffield (924). The latter was short lived with Preston and Manchester subsequently transferred to the 921 which at the time of this photograph was non-stop (except for a refreshment break) from Birmingham to Carlisle (1530).
