Arriva (or any local operators for that matter) seemingly do not have the resources nor Merseytravel the money to run such a service, so I seem sceptical. Just over a year ago, there were 3 buses an hour eve/sun in both directions.

Plus is there a new provision for Poulton Road now the 408 has been withdrawn?

The issue is, if anyone took it over, they would be 'invading' in Arrivas area and is it worth the grief that comes with that? Avon weren't bothered as that was their business style but Stagecoach like to stick to what they know and A2B only do tenders. All other companies aren't interested.

The wirral needs a new bus company who are fearless and are happy to invade areas. That is the issue with the wirral at the moment. Look at all the links that have been lost due to each company wanting to stick to their areas.

The services that they operate on a Sunday must be the most profitable , why did it take so long for them to realise there was traffic on the 464 on a Sunday though .

A tendered service every 70 minutes is probably trying to keep the route down to One vehicle , arent they looking at bus in the other direction numbered 107 looking at the proposals .
