Some of those alterations look like there because of the incursion of Stagecoach onto some of there routes in the near future , be interesting to hear a bit more of these alterations .
I'm thinking that the 22/25 will be rerouted away from Lower Village and go directly via Telegraph Road and the 77/77A rerouted via Lower Village to replace the 22/25.
As the 77/77A timetable stands , it really runs to its maximum potential with one minute between journey's at the Birkenhead end and four minutes between journeys at the West Kirby end so diverting the service via the Lower Village at Heswall can not be feasible unless the service ceases to operate beyond Heswall to West Kirby.
But will wait with baited breath to see what Avon have up there sleeves.

Not overly surprised on the 165 going, always quieter than the 164 when I've used it

When Impera operated those services, it was the opposite way around (well, that was definitely the case between December of 2013 and when they finished). Some of the regular late drivers preferred doing the 165 for that reason.
