Based on info from the Merseytravel contracts thread, it is believed Arriva have won the 117.

Thanks.

It is a good service on a Saturday, glad there is consistancy. Always wondered why Avon didnt run it commerically on saturday similar to Mon-Fri, as it seems fairly busy on a Sat

There must be a good reason for Avon not taking on the saturday work , but saturday is a strange day some saturday's it can busy and others it can be slack , less people working at the two hospital's Arrowe Park and Clatterbridge as well that bring the amount of passengers down compared to a weekday.

Very true so no guarantees just yet!

7558 is currently parked at the back of the depot, with what looked like front N/S damage.

Goodbye 7558 then probably.

So looks like 2344 _'4 r345 are the last 2 darts in service at LS but whats going to repplace them and 7558?

Who has said 7558 won't be repaired? Getting a little ahead of ourselves here, no indication how bad the damage is, it may be as simple as a new bumper and a bit of filler, who knows. Best to wait and see first!

We're a tad low on buses at the mo, 3010,2456,2439 (i dare say some presidents off the road too), not sure what else as I havnt been in a while, but i'd imagine if its light damage it'll probably come back!

Or like first did with B200 DTU in its last few days of service after a bump... some tape!
