Stagecoach to run Service 6 & 7 (Banbury - Stratford)

[Adam 404]

I believe this was mentioned in the Johnson's thread.

Stagecoach have released the timetable early and with it being ran by Stagecoach in Oxfordshire rather than Warwickshire, I am guessing that Banbury Garage will be running the route.

To confirm, a dart branded 'Stagecoach in Oxfordshire' has been working this route since it started.

Yes - Steven Knight's website http://www.stevenknightmedia.com/fleet-news-ramblings reported on 24 July that Banbury depot was gaining two or three Darts as a result of taking on the 6 and 7.
