Best in the business

According to my sister Bee-line was part of Ellerman Travel which included Bee-line coaches Leisure Hotels (Grand Hotels and Royal group all over UK) and the Ellerman Line cruises. They sold the coach side to Wallace Arnold and the travel became Lunn Poly. Wallace Arnold may still be on the go but the others are long gone along with Thomsons who bought out Lunn Poly.
They did well BeeLine didn’t they? Still talked about all these years later.
 
We had luxury Wally Arnolds coaches from Scarborough, they had tyres and everything 👍 We used to park at Bee-Lines depot on Linny Rd on match days. Happy days

In around 1970ish I went with my parents on a holiday to the Isle of Wight. I really don't know how they did it for the price. A week in a good hotel in Ryde, the evening meal was silver service every night, there was a dance band on each evening and we had excursions during the day. We went across on a hovercraft from Gosport. Great times.
 
In the early 70's Bee Line often departed at midnight on a Friday night to the southern away games and you would often arrive around 7am and spend hours wandering about pre match.It was a pretty tiring day out and a long miserable journey home if we lost.

We did that for Cardiff away, over Easter weekend, during Charlton's champions promotion year. Set of at midnight because they thought they'd hit Bank Holiday traffic. We didn't and got there about 7am.
Two Cardiff fans warned us about hanging round the market so we finished up in the Bluebird club near the ground.
One of the few games we lost that season.
