I think we've maybe gone a bit too far off topic with this thread - I wouldn't go talking about bumps in buses either, just in case the situation isn't yet dealt with at the operator.

They should give up the 91/92 and giveback the 492/495 at least thats a start for some breathing space
Should someone complain, couldn't they get punished up to & including revocation of operating licence by the TC, should the TC decide they should be punished for not running services as advertised?

You have to be joking , the cant even provide what they need to now , never mind then !!
Worst part about it is their 165 is going to be commercial!
You know when you look at the lists of cancellations it seems to only be the Wirral routes that seem to be affected , at this rate when they do , if they do get a full complement of staff these services may not have the passengers they once had due to unreliability.
Im now interested to see who picks up the work from the Bus Review in progress .

Doesn't seem to be getting any better so cant see it lasting much longer without some sort of consequence.
Not looking good especially now it's spreading to Liverpool work that they haven't long had, how are they going to cope next month with the 164 165 they start if they can't run the work they have
