Apart from scholars/works services - not sure if anything else has served it more recently.
If I recall correctly, it used to struggle to get up that hill.
The 638 really deserves a thread to itself. I don't think there was any other service quite like it and I doubt we will ever see anything of its kind again.
It was one of their longest routes and we defiantly won't see a route like it again.
Does anyone remember when it was diverted down Grindon Lane and along Summerset road - Springwell Road when it joined its route at the Broadway- only on Sundays - it was ran by a Solo on a Sunday to.
