I used it on May 2nd 2016 and May 2nd 2017. It's a pity that it won't continue to run on May 2nd at least.

You can see the 423 getting cut back to Liscard - Liverpool of an evening , this is where i suspect the majority of the passengers use it.

Indeed, after I posted my reply I spotted subsequent posts pointing to its retention. In 2016 I rode it as a Wirral circular from Birkenhead. In 2017 I rode it from Prenton to Liverpool on a VLW, which I understand is rarely if ever possible anymore.

I thought the 418 was going to operate all day & Sundays, that was the idea of withdrawing the 118/119, the new timetable has the 418 running until 6pm daytime only.

I was under the assumption that there was going to be an evening and sunday shortened version of the 118 as a 418 hourly at least.
At this rate no one will want to travel on public transport after 1900 hours or any time on a Sunday
RE: Wirral Bus Network Review - busdude - 11/08/2017 16:17
Are the 216 and 217 being withdrawn? because looking at this new 418 timetable the 418 now departs Arrowe Park 2 minutes before the 216 which follows the exact same route as the 418 to Birkenhead.
