Agreed. Consistent change is a big problem in the bus industry. The idea was to allow operators to try out new services & be inniotiave. Unfortunately, what's actually happened is constant tinkering with schedules which alienates the core market.

From bebington station left under bridge, first right into Greendale Rd, down to low bridge turn left onto Bolton Rd then right onto A41

A couple drivers missed the left turn onto Boton Road so had to turn around old 151 way past station

That left turn into Bolton Road from Greendale Road is very tight if there is traffic in Bolton Road , can see that being a pinch point .

From talking to drivers who been on it the biggest ptoblem is the turn from the bridge at Bebington Station into Greendale and vice versa as no room is given and cars park right to the curb. I yet to do a 2 yet so cant comment myself... only thing I can say is the 38 is much better now were not serving Port Sunlight

Who knew? If you pay staff a higher hourly rate with better conditions of service than your competitors they are more likely to want to work for you, be happier in their work and show loyalty to their employer. Clearly that business model only works in white collar industries.
