When I first remember it the 87/88 was joint United/PTE and didn't go to any bus stations.

Yes, Northumbria Motor Services. No idea why I said Northumbrian Coaches! They were very present in Haymarket bus station, as is now the case with Arriva.

I think only the 87/88 not X87/X88 was United/PTE. I am sure the expresses were always Busways, I could be wrong though.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know the X47 launched in 2006, or the X34 served Haymarket. Thanks, I will have a look at the bygone era area of the site.
