Just wondering when the footy special stopped, and why it was stopped

I can remember Amberline becoming popular around the time, but sure this was after the special had stopped

Do any other teams still operate it, or is it simply coaches and cars now...

Amberline was a coach firm like Sunnyways, Crown, Home James etc that ran coaches to away games. My first away train trip was as a kid in 1970 when I was taken to London for the Charity Shield at Stamford Bridge on a British Rail "special" they used to run to all the aways from Lime St using old stock carriages etc. Everton ran specials - "BlueStreak" to aways later but I cant remember when they stopped.
