Am not expecting Slewyns to start Commercial routes in the area but they could bid for Tenders that come up, They have show recently they are happy to run such work
I wonder if anything else has been sold or scrapped since they last update?

There was some form of 07 place MCV in Ripley's on Saturday.
Seen one of their darts on a recent photo somewhere at Barnsley.
107 and 407 (AE07DZS/NYT) seen today at the premises of Streamline in Huddersfield, apparently being prepared for service.
One year ago today that Avon left our roads.
This left holes in the bus network that will never be filled

Wow, has it been a year already?

You are right, there are so many holes in the network that are not filled, Clatterbridge Hospital no longer has a link to Heswall, Town Lane and Kings Lane no longer have a bus service, no evening and Sunday service between West Kirby and Heswall, Woodchurch has no link to Arrowe Park bar the morning 216/217 routes, there’s so many examples. I hope we see some of these gaps filled in the future, but I’m not confident.
Hopefully a more inclusive network will emerge when/if franchising happens.
Does it not occur to you that they went under because they ran routes for which there is no discernable demand, except by someone demanding them during a consultation?

If it has anything to do with the people who are working to destroy bus usage in Liverpool City Centre don't bank on it.
