I got an old 1968 Bus Timetable for Leicestershire, I was wondering if anyone had more info on some of the routes.

X91 Leicester - Hereford // Via Coventry, Leamington Spa & Worcester
162 Birmingham - Leicester // Via Coleshill, Nuneaton & Hinckley
599 Leicester - Croft // Via Narborough
600 Leicester - Croft // Via Narborough & Huncote
637 Leicester - Hinckley // Via Narborough, Stoney Stanton, Sapcote
725 Hinckley - Croft // Via Sapcote
726 Hinckley - Croft // Via Elmesthorpe, Stoney Stanton
751 Hinckley - Stoney Stanton // Via Sharnford, Sapcote
755 Hinckley - Stoney Stanton // Via Sapcote
L16 Wigston Magna - Croft // Via Whetstone
756 Sapcote - Broughton Astley // Via Barwell
757 Whetstone - Barwell // Via Earl Shilton
645 Leicester - Earl Shilton // Via Thurlaston
658 Leicester - Coventry // Via Earl Shilton, Barwell, Hinckley, Nuneaton & Bedworth

Coach Services

Hall Bros. Coventry - South Shields // Via Leicester, Nuneaton, Hinckley & Newcastle
Associated Motorways Mansfield - Paignton // Via Nottingham. Leicester, Earl Shilton, Hinckley, Nuneaton, Weymouth, Paignton

I am researching all the Hinckley area bus routes (including Burbage, Earl Shilton, Barwell & some surrounding areas). All timetables listed are in order, if anyone has some info please dot it down!

This may help with the famous X91 https://www.midlandred.net/service/information.php?service=x91&operator=bmmo&page=overview

Hall Bros of South Shields was part of Barton Transport - I think they purchased them c.1963 and the routes continued until the mid 1980s but can't say if it still served Hinckley
