I believe there has been a load of people complaining the 407 no longer goes through to West Kirby, it doesn't help the 438 has been so unreliable with buses often running 20 to 30 minutes late, i saw a 438, 30 minutes late the other day.

Reinstate 407 to West Kirby but reduce the frequency to half hourly then co-ordinate times with 438 to give a 15 minute frequency between Birkenhead and West Kirby. Inter working would enable crew changes at Laird Street Thus saving staff traveling time and use of a vehicle.

It's a pity that no-one with any influence at Merseytravel (including the mayor's office) and Go-Ahead seems to visit this forum.

Had my first look at Wirral Metro today. Heswall Bus Station was buzzing with the new services and increased frequency local services. Didnt have a lot of time so just took a 481 to Thingwall Corner and a 472 back to Heswall. 481 timings too generous with the driver waiting time at every stop through Pensby. Most 471s and 472s running late with at lease one Enviro 200 in service

My main concern though is that in 12 years the Wirral will have a fleet consisting entireily of old knackered vehicles
