Speaking of Elwick and the A19, I have found at least one service from 1978 which would have served both the west of the town, Elwick Village and, quite possibly, the stops on the A19 judging by the route it took.



There also used to be local service which served Dalton Piercy and the Dalton Lodge and quite possibly Elwick as well although I can't remember the number.

It's interesting there was such a service running so late in the evening for such a rural area. On saying that I vaguely recall the evening villager bus (518) surviving slightly longer than the day service (516) as the 518 briefly ran under guardianship of the council itself using a mobility vehicle.

I also love the wonderfully optimistic timing of old timetables. 13 minutes from town to Elwick is what google maps quotes as the driving time today, not including traffic or pesky passengers at bus stops!
