This is more than I ever wanted to know about coaches but here you have
piqued my interest, to a limited degree.  Who competed with Charleroi and
Washington service if any?  Did 88 eventually operate these routes?  I'm
sorry;  while I recognize the name 'Suburban' I do not remember anything
about them.  Was Suburban the competitor for Charleroi and Washington?
