Such a shame these services have long gone they were well used in their heyday, would re-regulation be a bad thing??!!

Knew the 365 had gone quickly, didn't realise it was instant, as for 305, well that is before my time. With the 306, I remember Merseybus doing a Kirkby-Ormskirk for a bit, they always used to use the buses with the experimental Dark Green Colours, which at GM was 1955 or 1957.

I know this as I went home from Skelhorne st on Sunday 26 October, remember passengers waiting at the shops opposite black bull only to see the bus veer right towards Fazakerley, no one knew about the new services and routes, mayhem!!

No doubt there was a lot of confused passengers in the weeks that followed on that route, that said there was loads of changes instantly after de-reg and reliability was pretty appaling for a while after.
