Merseytravel are quoting;

Stagecoach services are reduced. Subsequently the Monday to Friday daytime 471 service is reduced to every 30 mins in both directions - with Arriva operating one half of the service. The 472 remains at a 20 minute frequency. No journeys travel onward from Heswall to Barnston. Times are changed. On Saturdays from Liverpool the 472 is reduced to hourly while the 471 remains every 20 mins. From Heswall the 471 is reduced to hourly while the 472 remains every 20 mins. Times are changed. Sundays are unchanged.


Stagecoach meanwhile are quoting;

Monday to Saturday, Arriva will operate the 472 journeys in both directions, to a slightly revised timetable, but still with buses operating every 20 minutes.
Service 471 will have a new Monday to Friday timetable, with a half-hourly service provided jointly between Arriva and Stagecoach. On Saturdays, Stagecoach will provide the 471 daytime journeys on an hourly basis with Arriva operating evening journeys. The Sunday and Bank Holiday timetables will remain unchanged.

Arriva aren’t quoting anything..

I’m sure the residents of Pensby/Irby/Heswall will be made up at the sight of a of rammed shagged out 30 seat Cadet turning up instead of a leather seated WiFi/USB fitted modern double decker..

So it is not just me that cant understand who is doing what next week.

Think some clarification is necessary.
