I did wonder why the 407 interworks with the 471/2. When the timetable changes, buses have a layover time of 11 minutes in West Kirby, and arrive in Liverpool 2/3 minutes after a 407 leaves to return to West Kirby. 407 West Kirby - Liverpool could be pushed back 5 minutes, giving a layover of 5-6 minutes in West Kirby and make it over to Liverpool in time for a return journey. I struggle to see how it is necessary, as the Stagecoach 471/2 don’t interwork with any other routes at all. On that note, the 471/2 timetable is an absolute mess, Stagecoach services take 2 minutes longer between Arrowe Park and the Halfway house than Arriva services, but only Monday-Friday. This seems very odd, they’re on the same route they should take the same amount of time regardless of operator.

407 interworks the 471/472 so driver changes can be taken at Laird Street depot, more than anything else.

Is 2953 still at Birkenhead?
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - mrd97 - 20/01/2019 14:10
Anyone been out on or seen the 411 today? I imagine a few customers will be confused at its new route.

2953 is still here,it was on 418 on Friday.

407 could be fun tomorrow with the extension to West Kirby, bet some will mistake it for the 437.

I can see down the line the 407 being interwoven into the 437/432/3 diagrams

There was at least 3 Pulsars on the 437 on Tuesday.
Maybe more?

I think a number of Hybrids have been used on rail replacement services, as a number of single deckers where out on the 471,472 and 437, 407 yesterday.
