Any route that picks people up like the 145,418 gets axed, other routes like the 38 have been taken all over the place to pick up the pieces, yet routes like the Moreton circulars continue to run picking up fresh air all night.

I don't use the bus now, I regularly used the 418/118, but not viable for me to use any other buses since the bus review, too little to infrequent. Buy a car.

I used the 119 frequency as I live in spital and my friends were based in Wallasey and Upton. So I know the feeling. Luckily I drive now.

I’d reinstate the 419 (418 isn’t needed, New Chester Road is already well served). Cut the 38 back to the Croft. Reintroduce the 145/6 on a combined hourly frequency. Cut back the 16/17 to Clatterbridge (419 will cover Eastham-Arrowe Park Link). I think this wouldn’t require any more buses if it’s cut back to hourly along the entire route

A 145/146 hourly service probably would use 2 buses.

84/85 Eastham Ferry - Clatterbridge circulars, via Mill Park, Raby Mere, Clatterbridge, Spital and Bromborough. Should be less than an hour round trip. Only uses 1 bus if it’s ran every 2 hours in either direction (for a combined hourly service)

Cutting the 38 back I’m unsure, definitely saves 1 bus, perhaps

Cutting the 16/16A/17 back to Clatterbridge saves 2 buses

So in theory, these proposals could actually reduce the current PVR
