Dare I say the change to bendies put the nail in the coffin for this, much higher running costs with no further income. Couple that with 2 other high frequency routes also linking LSP and JLA and there you have it!

I wonder what the future of these bendies is.
More for the 699?

I think youd struggle to find anyone in management whod want more bendies!!!

Yeah, they're a nightmare.
In the West Midlands, some have just been scrapped because they couldn't think of any good use for them which wouldn't make the passengers revolt!
Now they just get used on a relatively low-patronage service which could easily be served by a normal single-decker.

Hopefully that won't happen to these ones in Liverpool, as those vehicles aren't even that old and are in good condition.

I always thought the 501 was a waste of resources (remembering that it's part funded by Merseytravel) and of course well known for carting fresh air around.
