I had problems yesterday with the 88 From Parkgate As the 18:12 To West Kirby Never showed up and when the 19:12 Turned up I asked the driver why the one before didn't turn up and the driver said they are short on bus drivers at the moment

That would explain the mega recruitment drive for drivers. A lot of drivers are throwing the same advert on Facebook.
RE: Avon Buses - M113 YKC - 05/06/2017 16:05
The last 144 on Saturday night didn't show up for me.
RE: Avon Buses - Jw88 - 05/06/2017 16:09
On Sunday 28th of May the 293 From Woodside Bus Station at 14:38 was ment to go to West Kirby But For Some Reason Only Went to Arrowe Park Forcing me to wait another hour even though it was timetabled to go to West Kirby.
I wonder why the bus driver didn't go all the way To West kirby

From Merseytravel:
Avon 492
Due to operational difficulties there will be no 492 services today from 1811 - 0011 inclusive from Woodside Bus Station
Seems like they're running into a lot of operational problems lately, hopefully it's just a temporary issue

I was told by a bus driver that worked for Avon That they are Short Staffed that's why there's probably no 492 tonight

I've heard they have a rather large driver shortage at the moment, a huge majority jumping ship to Arriva. Both the 1329 and 1529 service 22 departures from Chester have been cancelled during various days over the last week due to 'staffing issues'.

I have heard the same myself, Avon might be best handing a couple of tenders back as things are clearly getting bad
