Cross River Night Buses

RE: Cross River Night Buses
There are a fair few other tendered routes I could name which carry next to no one, and a great example would be the 124/125 circulars in Wallasey. Nine times out of ten I see buses on these routes, there is no one whatsoever on board, and you'd be lucky to ever see more than one or two. It was the same when I was a kid and nothing's changed, but the routes carry on.

This compares with the greatly missed 86N which loaded very well, especially at weekends. At one point you had Arriva running every 15 minutes between town and Rose Lane and the alternative PeoplesBus service which was frequent enough. They were really useful as someone who dislikes Hackney taxis and especially the extortionate fares they charge. Putting some funds towards a decent Night Bus network like we used to have, especially the Liverpool QBP services as we had in the run up to last Christmas, would be a lot better than flogging dead horses with some of the utterly pointless contracted services that run in the evenings.

For a major city like Liverpool which is dependant on buses to a large extent to have no night service at all is a disgrace IMO.
