Didnt West Midlands Travel try something similar years ago when they first introduced the 340?

They tried 'improving' the services around there by running the 340 from Walsall to Willenhall via Beechdale, the 341 only ran Walsall to New Invention & 342 did Coppice Farm to Willenhall.

Whatever it was, it didnt last long due to 'people power' !

Midland Choice ran 341/326 interworked with 341 running Walsall to Willenhall with a New Invention/Beacon Est loop. Their 326 did Willenhall Circular to New Invention/Beacon Est. loop in 20 mins to cover the 25 minute 341 layover in Willenhall.
Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!

Don't remember them doing that.

Then again, up until the last few years, it was difficult to find information for certain services/operators that wasnt National Express & its predesscors, certainly printed info.

They ran evening and Sundays along with 327 and 562. This was in the days when our Leyland National was king. We even ran a Leopard coach on it when short !

If you worked for Choice, do you remember sending your vehicles for some reason to Blakemores Spar Depot, on the same estate Hootys was on, because I remember seeing a couple of your vehicles parked on the estate one day?

Only thing I can think of your company coming round for, might have been our vehicle wash!

We used their lorry wash and our mechanics were good friends with theirs - hands when the yard was crowded!
