That's correct, believe a new network is starting in Leicester.

Leicester launches 29/4/19. 7am to 11pm 7 days a week using 5 click buses to the same spec as the 25 in Liverpool.

Arriva Click have a contract with Network Rail to operate between South Parkway Station and Banks Road, Garston whilst repairs to the railway bridge over Church Road are carried out.
1034 was on the service on Sunday.

Is Arriva Click's Merseyside unit then effectively its own self contained business unit them operating out of Arriva Merseyside garages? and not part of North West?

The buses get maintained , fuelled and stored at the depots but is run seperate from the core buissness as i beleive they have there own supervisor etc.

Thank you. It is a pity that you did not share the information before the driver told me that.

Not quite as they don’t have a set depot supervisor. ArrivaClick is managed by each depot and the drivers form part of North West. Officially Drivers report to the depot as normal however as soon as they go in service the Control team take over and drivers report to control. That structure may well change so that it becomes a separate entity.

The Garston shuttle has nothing to do with ArrivaClick, Arriva Speke are just borrowing the buses and using their own drivers.
