I was only about six or seven when that service was withdrawn, so that would come to about 2005. I assume that little service would become some sort of foundation for the 34/34A, seeing as not many services ran without a 7 in front back then.
I'm sure a similar question has been asked in this thread before. I believe the 734 was the direct forerunner to the current 34/34A supplemented, in part, by the 733. There was also a 732 which operated in the late 80s/early 90s.
