Wasn't the depot in Bedworth

I used to see them driving behind a building opposite The Blue Boar Inn on Mancetter Road, Mancetter.

Looking on Google now there's new houses on there so they must've moved out at least 10 years ago.

The time when I used to catch that 777 was around 2000-2001ish until Stagecoach took over the routes and introduced the 717 etc. (when Coleshill Parkway train station was getting ready to open)

Thought it was park rd Bedworth where a line was

They may have ran out of Park Road as well, as they used to run the Tesco Bedworth free bus as well.

What I'm remembering them from is from the introduction of this service:

That ran out of Mancetter, which after random Googling may have been an old "De Luxe" garage. Not 100% sure on that, though.

I did also look at their current website; not been updated since 2015!

Yes, A-Line Coaches Ltd did run out of Park Road, Bedworth - the one-time Vanguard Coaches base.  A-Line took over De Luxe of Mancetter, near Atherstone, in 1999 and used the garage there for around three years or so.

The original A-Line Coaches Ltd ceased trading in 2013, but a new company - A-Line Coaches Coventry Ltd - was formed.  It is this new company which has now been called for the PI, and it has only ever operated coaches.

That's what happened! Thank you Justin, I knew I weren't going totally crazy.
