From what I've seen it gets a bit tight for space when everything's in, think they have around 33 buses but still room for more.
Remember though 3 buses will be freed up with the end of 112, 138 and 181 contracts

Not really, they've no interest in expanding as a full scale operation in Liverpool for now anyway.
RE: Avon Buses - T42 PVM - 23/07/2012 19:16
truthfully i dont think they ever would try and go big time in liverpool, i just think they will have the odd service running over from the wirral and into a bus station then back over to wirral again (could turn out be wrong as i dont know much about avon)

i forgot to mention, last week i seen an Avon 495 driving down borough road instead of going up Woodchurch road and it was in service because it had passengers on it, silly driver

RE: Avon Buses - wirralbus - 09/08/2012 10:02
The 110 journeys are just some Monday to Friday Merseytravel journeys that they have probably lost to another operator , nothing better than knowing now we will be looking to a new operator of those journeys .
With regards the 93 , dont forget the 12/12A have a timetable and route change so that could be the reason for the introduction of this service .
But the 17/17A and 18 im just wondering if the weekday service will cease to interwork at Moreton , otherwise i dont understand the reregistration of the 18 ?
RE: Avon Buses - P450 SWX - 09/08/2012 12:02
Be nice if the 93 is the ond 193
RE: Avon Buses - P450 SWX - 13/08/2012 07:21
What operated the last day of the following
112/113, 138/139, 154/155 and 181 as I know Avon have not lost the 197
any help be great its just for my records as first and last day of routes I like to know what buses where about
RE: Avon Buses - Willowbrook - 13/08/2012 10:52
I've been off the buses for a bit, so just went for a run upto Heswall and back to look at the 471 and 472. I got on an Avon bus to see what the big yellow signs are all about. It basically says the 85 changes times by less than 5 mins to account for gas works in Raby that go on till November. Driver didn't know anything about the 17 or 18 but said the 12 and 12A are being split into 12 and 93, it's the same timetable and route but split into two clearly different numbers from Arrowe Park for political reasons. He said it was to do with fuel duty changes.
