Hi All,

I noticed today on Enviro200 751 MX60 BWZ which was on the 161 this morning there is a noticed, from Merseytravel about route 211 (Speke Circular). It advises to ignore any rumours about the service being cancelled and that, as we all know, the route is due up for contract renewal in August and whoever is the operator after then, the service will run as normal!

It is just very unusual for such a poster to be issued from memory, so I wonder if Ace have lost the contract and this is how the rumour has begun?
Hi all do we know if the 3 marshalls T757/8/9LFM and the two plaxtons R451/68LGH have found new homes yet? last i heard they had gone to mistral after being replaced by the 12 reg Enviro200s Ace are due some more new Enviro200s in october to see off the older darts they will most probably be 62 reg.
The timetable for Ace Travel's 47A (nothing exciting!), which starts on the 16th of this month, can be seen on the last page of this timetable:

What's the new 47A route for? There is an hour gap before it heads back!

A school service, possibly?
Seems pointless

It does, however there might be a reason/reasons for it.

It brings the bus back from Southport at least picking up some revenue on the way , seems hardly worth introducing for this school semester but probably introduced now for the coming semester in september.
