Oh, i think the 17 would be better doing a circuit around the Sandbrook then becoming the 16, rather than the 22, 17 is quite reliable plus the 10 minute wait at Moreton, 22 can often be late.

I think the 414 will too, it’s just in a separate timetable and hasn’t been released yet. Otherwise that would be very bizarre!

And yeah I’ve heard about reliability problems with the 22. The 17 would be a better bus to have go through the Sandbrook than the 22 I reckon.

How much would it cost Merseytravel to divert the 38 through the Sandbroik instead? It goes there in the evenings anyway, and follows the same route with the old 18 between Moreton Cross and Birkenhead. It would be great for residents on the Sandbrook. As it’s such a small diversion, I can’t imagine the cost would be particularly high. Plus st the moment, passengers on the Sandbrook wanting to go to West Kirby have to stand on opposite sides of the road depending if you’re travelling in the day or in the evening, as the 22 goes through the Sandbrook as if it is travelling towards Birkenhead.
