The routes had been operated by the Schmidt family since 1923 and the part of the route from Cherbourg to Flamanville was amongst the earliest bus services in the département of la Manche, having been started at the end of 1912 by the Société des Automobiles et Cycles Peugeot.
The two Schmidt routes were eventually to pass in 1978 to the STN (Société des Transports de Normandie - the major country bus operator in the Cotentin area of la Manche département in Normandie).
This was due to the retirement of the proprietors after several generations of the family had been involved in the business, although falling passenger numbers would have been making the routes progressively less viable too.
