Whilst there were some passengers on board, I can't help but feel that this sort of route is one where Merseytravel really should be considering whether it needsto operate. The great majority of the route is duplicated by other services (albeit with a change of bus being required), and other than being very convenient for those visiting the cemetery, I can't see that it's provision is a good use of scarce funding.

Having lived in Birkenhead for around a year now, I am beginning to wonder about some of Merseytravels decisions as regards supporting services.

Think this is a historic supported service of which there would be an outcry if it was pulled off as it goes to a Cemetery from an area where there is no direct service other than this service from .
Does make you wonder if there is a lot of wallasey residents interred in that cemetery.
