Never really understood the drop in service in some divisions but not in all divisions during the summer.

In Liverpool there are very few dedicated school bus services compared to those on the Wirral. Consequently, when the schools and colleges close for the holidays there is less demand on regular service bus routes. Prior to deregulation, many Liverpool routes were augmented at peak times but now most routes have a standard frequency throughout the day.
