For Southport from other posts....

Trying to find the correct feed it's a question out of curiosity. I've noticed some depots running the same buses each day. Mechanically how has it effected fixing buses. Are most maintenance staff been furloughed etc...

Apparently maintenance staff haven't been furloughed unless they meet the the government guidelines of age etc as the biggest cost was driving staff , so by cutting driving staff would save them the most out goings.
