Compared to Diamond where the only connection is to the 217.

But stagecoach never wanted the 171/172 as was Beeline then Maynes for many years. and only really came to them due to take over of Maynes. Been a decker route since beelne but had times of midi on the route as that all what GMPTE asked for.
