There is the proposed introduction of the 408 however, this requires two additional buses that would have been used on the withdrawn services. The 410 will probably see a few amendments too, like removing journeys to Woodside when it clearly doesn't need to serve there in the evening. The 411 of an evening will be operated commercially by Arriva too and other tendered early morning services commercialised.

Streamlining , is that what its called , the furthest south the network goes now on the Wirral is Ness Gardens (487) , Clatterbridge (410) and New Ferry (418/464).

Seems like a case of Arriva battening down hatches and Stagecoach mopping everything else up.

Will the 464 and 418 interwork now or operate as two seperate routes ?

PVR 88 about to become 77. Probably the lowest ever.

When the service changes come into force in September 7 hybrids and 2 solos (669/670)will be leaving. The hybrids will be going to Speke depot.

PVR will be 91

I think 4411 is on a private hire as it was having a deep clean yesterday evening and the cleaners reckoned it was going out on a private hire today. Not sure about the other one.
