Merseytravel must be looking at the route 181 closely to see if the route via Manor Drive can be shortened now that the 16/16a operate via Manor Drive . Avon are one of the better independent service operators.

Avon have some classy buses, especially the MCVs, but even some Darts seem quite elegant. It is just a pity I have been unable to find a website of theirs. I didn't ride any Avon buses in the Wirral today, but I hope to ride at least route 77 next time. I rode route 11 and one other route on my previous visit to the Wirral in 2009.

Great news that Avon are withdrawing the 40 / 40A route. Another blow for Saughall Massie having has the 17 recently reduced to hourly during the day.. Many Thanks

Dont forget there is a change to the 86 / 87 around the same date .

Well Stagecoach are introducing 38A which will serve Saughall Massie and Sandbrook. Also it will run into the nights and on Sundays, so Saughall Massie isn't without loss
RE: Avon Buses - moreton407 - 18/05/2014 21:27
Stagecoach evening journeys from Saughall Massie finish at 2114(m-s) and 1809(sun) and last journeys finishing/going via Saughall Massie are at 2019(m-s) and 1814(sun).
Also Stagecoach are only operating an hourly Sunday service.
Is the 86/87 being curtailed to operate Eastham/Mill Park and West Kirby?

I would like to see what Avon do here , will they roll up and die or fight to the end , that is the question that will be answered over the summer.
RE: Avon Buses - MPTE1955 - 20/05/2014 07:17
I can see them rolling up their sleeves and fighting, however how long they could sustain it is another matter entirely, hopefully they will sustain it.
RE: Avon Buses - wirralbus - 20/05/2014 07:28
I wonder how long before the Liverpool 122 either becomes a casualty of the Wirral operations coming under fire or Stagecoach at Gillmoss takes a pop at it .
RE: Avon Buses - MPTE1955 - 20/05/2014 08:58
I thought that the 122 was a merseytravel contract.
