Interestingly no new 181 (Arrowe Park Hospital - Leasowe station) has been published yet - This is one of the services that A2B began operating from this week, taking over from Avon Buses. No new times so the old timetable isn't going to really cause any confusion to passengers but odd it seems to have been missed out!

With the 20's being curtailed to Earlestown, I have heard that the 34A is being extended to Bradleigh Estate as a replacement, so it will be interesting to see what happens with both the 34 and 34A timetables from this date.

That's indeed correct St Helens Rider as the 34A has the time to do so! I assume curtailing the 20 and replacing the Bradlegh Road section with the 34A means they can reduce the PVR which would explain the change.

if what i heard is true this is only the start and wheres the 10A timetable as i think it changes aug 29th?

There's not huge changes planned other than that. The only other significant one will be the re-routing of 33s at the Thatto Heath end of the route so that after Queensland, they turn right at the lights and head back toward St Helens leaving the Suttons industrial park section of the route served by just the half hourly 33A due to a lack of patronage around that loop.

There's also a timetable change on the 32/32A as well I believe.

i hear the 32 will lose one bus an hour but unconfirmed

The changes are likely to be slightly more complex than it just loosing one bus an hour. A bus will be lost but, not all day. Instead it'll be taken off late morning to go back on at some point during the afternoon. It's all to do with the re-introduction of split shifts to the depot.

yes that true and same applys to the 33 also i hear 23 is to return for eve only dno what that is aldo i did hear about the 20 thing a few month back and 34A thing a same time, 620 apparently for atherton if true i will stop my protest as i will be happy with that as atherton a good place
