Can anyone provide information on changes to bus routes since 1980 in Grimsby and NE Lincs. What bus routes have come and gone.

Up until the middle of January this year, one of Grimsby's local routes, numbered 5, at certain times extended all the way to a village in North Lincolnshire called South Killingholme.

I've just found a photo of a mid-to-late 1980's GCT network map on Flickr. Well worth downloading the image and bookmarking the link with a more relevant name:
