Maybe one day someone else will operate the 75 and/or 78 as well as Arriva! The best time for the 78 (frequency wise) was around 2003-5 when Arriva operated a 15 min daytime frequency and GTL also ran it every 30 (or was it 20?) mins!

Hmmmm... That was probably why, im sure they'd make a profit on some sort of Hunts Cross/ Halewood route now though what with the 75s being so crowded.

I hope that happens! I remember when the 75/35 was run by about 4 or 5 operators in the late 90s/ early 00s and the frequency was mad, ever 4 mins or something I remember! But back then there was the 72, 73, 217 and stuff as well! I wish they'd bring back the 72, twas a good route.
