The 418 has been on its death bed since it was cut back from Mill Park to New Ferry .
Then the next stage of its demise was the rerouting via prenton dell , whho would use Prenton Dell over Prenton itself .
Then going from every 30 minutes to every 40 minuites to every 1 hour .
Prenton Dell is the poor relation and will need some attention after this .

Is there a reason why 420 only runs in morning with no return journey in the evening peak?
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - T42 PVM - 04/11/2023 09:30
It did once run both ways but has been cut over the Years until we where left with just a single trip

Most likely to do with loadings.
The bus on the morning 420 can be full after leaving Upton, were as evening buses often left Liverpool empty, & given the stopping arrangements, only passengers to & from Liverpool were carried on the 420.
Passengers from Liverpool, would often catch the first bus, even if was the 437, given the 437 only takes 5 minutes longer than the 420, so 420 loadings were often poor on leaving Liverpool, which is why all the journey's from Liverpool were withdrawn.

The 420 could always pick a decent load up from West Kirby if Merseyrail had a nightmare , the 420 was a political decision to keep last time there was cuts on the plate , but as there is upcoming franchise routes it was thought time to get rid of .

Is that a loan or transfer?

I think it's a transfer as the PVR has been reduced at Bootle and also not seen 2620 out recently.
