30 (St. Helens to Chain Lane) - Arriva proposing to withdraw Sunday daytime services due to them operating at a loss

22 (Warrington to Ashton) - Warrington's Own Buses proposing to change the route in two areas due to issues with punctuality and parked cars stopping buses from getting through

Very interesting.

Re the 30 - not surprised about Sunday loadings as I've never seen many on it. Wonder how Merseytravel will cover this as the 17 in the daytime goes onto the 37. I still think that Chain Lane can't sustain the present frequency in Evenings/Sundays as the service at these was hourly until 2016.

22 - I think this issue was predicted in this WOB thread when the extension was proposed. I had read reports of HTL's Solos struggling round these roads, so problems were inevitable.
