There was the 177 and 178 which served various streets in Fencehouses.
The 71 serves part of the 177 route through Avenue Vivienne - GNE refused to pick up the gaps left by the 178 being withdrawn, hence Nexus stepping in and having to fill the gap.
If the TB20 operated a different route, maybe via Sedgeletch Road and then followed the TB21 route, it would save a few quid and pick up a few more passengers.
I think the timings may be out for the 79. If you look at the 79a on a night, the timetables don't follow any consistent pattern.
