Avon CC also did the same. The stupidity of different numbers for the same service is long since dead but the use of number bands is still applied from Avon days:

5** - Bristol
6** - South Glos
7** - Bath

8** for North Somerset seems to have been dropped though

There is now the strange situation in South Glos where the subsidised 625 has recently been taken over by Wessex Mon-Sat, but they have just lost the Sunday part-route contract on it to Stagecoach who have renumbered it as 628.

Also the 622 (Mon-Sat contracted to Severnside) Sunday part-route contract has also moved from Wessex to Stagecoach, who have renumbered it 627.

There are "town services" in places a lot smaller than Colne, eg Kington in Herefordshire with a population of 3240 has town service 460 operated by Sargeants Brothers, though it only operates on certain days.

Any suggestions of towns with even fewer inhabitants offering an every weekday town service ?

Are you defining a place with a town charter? In which case there's a lot of villages with a higher population than Kington!

A number of 'not every day' services were originally market day services but in my area most have been replaced by a flexible bus service.

Anywhere that has what is officially called a town service, whether a designated town or a village. Fishguard in West Wales with a population just slightly higher than Kington has a near half-hourly town service Monday to Saturday operated by Richards Brothers (410) but I suspect there are towns/villages with fewer inhabitants than either of these with a town service
