The 704 is mainly an evening service that literally goes round Avon Road and back up to Stanley. Takes 5 minutes and gets nobody on. Those 2 routes would run throughout the day and would get used as they would run in between the timetables of the main routes that go the same way as these services on some parts of the route.
Looking at the old 704 (just went Stanley - Avon Road - Hollyhill Gardens - Avon Road - Stanley) which used a DAF as it interworked with the 729 and that got decent loadings so, thats what im basing this idea off.
