RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot
2723 is off following a slight collision with a parked Police van on Hoghton Street:-

Meanwhile a bus appears to have collided with a horse on the Formby By Pass. No info on what bus was involved although I understand it was an Arriva.

Looks like bus has come over slightly too early just catching the front wing of the van. As for the collision involving the poor horse and of course bus driver, I believe that the bus was 3040.

Aw poor horse shame it died. Apart from that incident though there seems to be a lot of bus crashes and collisions when it comes to Arriva Southport.

Nothing should be read into that , outward facing CCTV camera's will give a good indication whom is to blame for most road traffic incidents .

2727 and 2728 both on 47/48 today.
I gather from the Merseytravel website the 48 is to be withdrawn.

It appears so. The 47 will also terminate at the Plough and no longer serve Banks or Riverside. It will also miss out Aughton Road/St Johns Road and use the main road. Obviously commercial reasons behind it, but a further blow for passengers with the 300 soon to evade Sherdley Hill and Haskayne as well.

I mentioned this the other day Shame its being rerouted as that's a good run, especially the NSL section! Should imagine people from Haskayne will still be able to get the 300 just from the main road, not sure how passengers from Shirdley hill are supposed to get around now though

The places removed from the route 300 , on average how well used are those places ?
