Still late! My morning buses haven't been as late as previously but just got one home and it was also late. I would say rush hour may be to blame but surely that would have been accounted for in the alterations?

Shedloads, absolutely loads, I always see different buses running round with what seems like random numbers starting with 6** and 7** on the front, not a clue where any of them go either!

They run the vast majority of the St Helens schools contracts including Rainford High, Cowley and Carmel College to name a few.

They have school services listed on their website, or at least they did last time I looked.

Just checked online, they operate about 35 different school runs. How on earth are the drivers expected to remember them all lol..

I'd expect you'd learn a few of them and stick to just a few!

They still run at least one Merseytravel service route too, route 870 (Old Swan - Huyton Industrial Estate), one early morning trip Mon - Fri only (the other morning trip on this is run by HTL), I saw the Halton one this morning after it completed its run waiting just outside HTL's depot!

Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice.
I'll be right beside you dear.

Most are combined in with normal service timetables, so they're probably just used to it.

I suspect not as many of the schools services start/finish well away from their scheduled route network.

That's true but somehow they interwork, I know my school bus last year in St Helens came off one of the Liverpool services.

Around 90% of the schools are interworked.

Some of the school workings even interwork with other school buses, the PM 41 service interworks with the 708 IICR
