Wonder if the Arriva strike is why there’s a delay

Amazingly, now updated with confirmed changes as of noon today:

Many will be glad that St Helens's service 37 has been saved, albeit reduced to hourly and extended to Rainford.
Still waiting for timetables for St Helens services though.

Not a single timetable though?

Also interesting that instead of withdrawing the 17 and extending the 30, they have withdrawn the 30 and extended the 17.

Even though the Halton 61 will be going down to hourly, an interesting note that, "Following feedback and confirmation of additional funding the 61 will return to a higher frequency in Jan’ 23."

Hattons have gained the 133 & 167. Quite surprising given the way they have run the 156 over the last few months. Do Merseytravel not consider the reliability of the operator on current contracts when awarding new ones.

PeoplesBus have gained the 136 and 235 contracts from HTL, as well as a morning 58 trip from Netherton, and the 835 from Stagecoach as well.

It is also mentioned that HTL will still run some 899 services in the morning when the 897/8/9 passes to Green Lane from September.

On Wirral

Selwyns have gained 811 which was a shock

Not so much of a shock was A2B picking up 73, 80/1/2, 91/91A& 129

I was wondering if Selwyns would get something, passed there on the train recently and saw a couple of Solos in the yard, both in fleet livery with green roof.
