That's because First are taking over the Southport P&R contract.

Really? Blimey, when I worked there all deckers that were on 43/6 (3/7 in old money!) late boards had to be swapped over at the garage before 2000. I had to really work on the desk supervisor (Brian Walsh, if I remember correctly) to let me take an Atlantean out on lates when they were being withdrawn Smile

That's right DEM, the Atlanteans all came in for bed early. It was Brian Walsh too, still with the company, works out of Eastbank Street.

Also joking apart, the P & R contract is up for renewal & slight route changes are a requirement.
