Here's a service which actually existed for a short spell after deregulation in 1986. It was gone by Jan 1987 (where the other two attachments have came from). If anything could rival the 638, it would have been this. Lots of new travelling options created!!
If you turn to the previous page of the booklet you would see that the 602 was extended from Newcastle to (Longbenton?) on dreg day and Newcastle to Long Benton was cancelled Feb 87, I think the 602/604 it was replaced with a service 355/356 or something similar, cant remember the service number otherwise I would have to dig through my papers where ive got the press list of the service changes from Feb 87, Feb 87 was the first time the bus companies were able to change bus services after dereg Oct 86.
