Sania International.

They had the contact briefly about 10 to 15 years ago to operate the Walsall 351 evening & Sundays.

I lived on the route(Somerfield Road section) & I never saw one of their vehicles, unless they took the Bloxwich Road route by mistake, which they shouldnt have done!

Anyone ever remember seeing this operator in service?

I did hear a rumour they had a garage in Goscote area of Walsall.

So they did exist then.

I have quite a few photos of their fleet, they had some interesting vehicles including two Lynx and a Bluebird. I cannot remember whether they did actual run on the 351, I remember them winning the tender, but it was about the time they were getting into trouble with the TC

To this day I'm still impressed that route is still going. Is it always the same driver?
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

How can he make enough money doing that? Is the route really busy or something?
