Merseytravel: Bus service Consultations

RE: Merseytravel: Bus service Consultations
No doubt they are seeing money and think that even if say 20% of the X1 passengers shift to using other Arriva routes, that will make those other routes more profitable.
It's not difficult to see the flaws with that way of thinking.
Similar arguments probably behind the withdrawal of other express / limited stop services such as the X8 Liverpool to Chester in recent times, regardless of their popularity.
They should have been able to save 1 vehicle just by running only Liverpool to Runcorn High Street, with onward connections being available to the various parts of Runcorn on Arriva's local services.
'Sapphire' indeed.
