WITH the opening of the PrestonIT Warrington section of M6 motorway on Monday, Ribble Motor Services Ltd. has started new day trips to places hitherto inaccessible to day trippers living in the north-west. By using M6 and MI new services from Preston will, for example, give day trippers a four-hour stay at Woburn Abbey (a 343-mile round trip) and a two-and-a-half-hour stop at Blenheim Palace (331 miles).
The new motorway section will also
give a " bonus" of about an hour to passengers on Ribble excursions to Coventry and Chester.
Also starting this week is Ribble's " Modern Wonders" tour, which will use the whole of the new M6 section and will include a stop at Manchester airport, a view of the radio-telescope at Jodrell Bank and a journey along the M62 motorway with its great new bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal. This tour is run from Preston, Bolton and Bury.
