A new Route 411 will be introduced from 4 October between Woodside - New Brighton. This will replace part of the withdrawn Route 31A. This evening only service will be run for Merseytravel by Arriva from Friday 4 October. The new timetable will be available to download later today.

Shame as i quite liked the 39, but classic case of a company overstretching itself, then finding it can't run the routes.

Who operated the 101 service , before it was removed by Merseytravel in favour of the commercial 31A.
It is nice to see the other bus companies help out Merseytravel.

A2B Travel operated the 101 I presume the new 411 will just be the 101

I can't say too much at the moment, however I've heard that there may possibly be something on Granada Reports tonight regarding Impera - probably safe for me to say that any vital answers will be on this, if this is the case.

I could tell these were a dodgy outfit from the very beginning when they started messing round with the 130/210/250, then failing to run services etc.
My opinion: Sympathies for the drivers, (although I'm confident Avon/Stagecoach/Arriva etc will sort something out for the drivers) - BUT, good riddance of a real cowboy outfit.
They are gone for good.
