Yes lots of routes changed hands...eg the 390 ( I think) between cannock anx lichfield became chaserider 860 ( todays 60) and routes between cannock and rugeley cannock n hazelslade etc mid red took them over too. I think it was in exchange for wmpte having exclusivity on the Hednesford to walsall network of routes.  Midland red withdrew their 865 between stafford and walsall around this time.  The connection with midland red and wumpty was the Chaserider livery the logo was a Claret coloured band. Claret represented a mixture of red ( MR) & blue ( WMPTE)...
