However, doubt this is bad planning, possibily more a case that arriva timed the 414 to be in front of the impera 39 which was still running when it was registered.

I would have extended the short Liscard 413s to New Brighton as 414, with 403,413,414 operating 10 minutes over the common sections, 414 would have been Woodside-New Brighton, those old enough to remember mirroring most of the old 35 route.

The short 413 is probably time wise , the same as the 414 time wise , extending would to New Brighton would probably require another vehicle on that route , which would probably effect profitability .
