Being honest I can't see Stagecoach run it every hour. More like every 30 minutes for them. Be surprised if they do put it every hour
You can't 'talk' to people when doing a tender. You put a bid in and that's it. If they want to put a bid in doing an extension instead then that's an option but it won't involve active discussions beforehand otherwise it makes a mockery of the tendering.
If any route involves extensions, I can imagine it being bolted onto the hourly 87 it ends where the 342 starts. If you flipped the 72/87 around then it would timetable perfectly to connect with it aswell at 18 minutes past which would give a 30 minute service thereabouts with the 6 from Westerhope to Kingston Park.
