821 822 154 still is service

154s days are limited

On the 93 again, only i got on in Liverpool however when we was at Birkenhead the 93 heading to Liverpool left with 6 people on and not all where OAPs

Im looking at the timetable for the 93 , the more I look at it the more im confused to exactly what they are doing with this service , it seems the Sunday services are just positioning runs after and before service in Liverpool , am I right ?

Yes as them trips go onto the 202/204

How is the new 93 to Liverpool One doing?

I'm not sure, but the services I have seen have used older darts on the 93. If I were Avon, I would treat this as an opportunity to grow and would stick the newer buses on it, including the new Enviro 200s - at least for the first couple of months, so that people see snazzy vehicles and try it out. At the moment they are competing with Arriva & Stagecoach, both of which operate new vehicles on all of their cross-river routes, with the exception of SC's 471/2 board.

Dart 213, Y213BGB, was taken for scrap today

Being honest though the route is just a means to an end to feed a route in Liverpool with buses , Arriva / Stagecoach if they deemed it as competition then would have done something by now.

They stopped putting the enviro 200s on Liverpool as the roads were battering them, pot holes and road humps on route
