But we do need new buses, I don't understand why ppl hate Runcorn Depot, all I see on here is this route route is next to go, it's like you are all kids,,, the question I have do you want Runcorn Depot, do you want it to go like skem depot,,,

(if mods see If I get a warning/time out, for this post, thats ok, they hate Runcorn Depot / Runcorn Town,, Im just sick off people wishing/talking bad on this depot/town) remember this, Runcorn has lost more bus routes then Liverpool (last lost route 62 M-F),,, Sorry forum Mods, someone had to speak their mind tbh

I work for Arriva and can tell you now, Runcorn did not make more money than the whole of Merseyside during any of the lockdowns.

Runcorn isn't receiving new buses to replace the MANs because it doesn't make enough money, otherwise they'd already be on order. Southport only received the dealer stock StreetLites, which were a deal as part of the StreetDeck order, because Wrexham didn't want them. Until Arriva's ownership situation is resolved, the unfortunate reality is the less profitable depots will be a lower priority for new buses. I don't see how stating the facts equates to me hating Runcorn depot or the town itself.
