Wirral Bus Network Review

[CKC 312L]

RE: Wirral Bus Network Review
The Heswall - Clatterbridge link is not being lost at all as Avon are still running the 85 Mon - Sat daytimes. Unfortunately the evening and Sunday link will be lost and maybe this link could be looked at in the Network Review. Unfortunately the service suffers as the route between Spital Crossroads to Heswall Station is sparesly populated and in these areas the car dominates.
Also what we don;t know at the moment is will Merseytravel replace this route with a temporary emergency service between the 23rd April and the start of the results of the Bus Review only Merseytravel know the answer to that at the moment. The unfortunate thing is that anyone wishing to get to Clatterbridge from Heswall outside the 85's operating times will face the long drawn out option of travelling to either Neston or Birkenhead to pick up a connecting service hopefully something will replace the 86/87 but in these times of cutbacks I don't hold out much hope
