RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot

Off the top of my head, these are the areas which have lost either an Evening or Sunday bus as of late, or lost a bus altogether. I realise this is long winded, but hopefully it points out the severity these funding cuts have had. It’s soemthing I’m very passionate about. I feel it basically Beeching for buses. Once again I’m quite a new member so I apologise if this is innapropriate for the thread.
