Never saw any point in the 86H, every time I saw it it was carrying fresh air, max of about 4 kids in the morning! So I don't understand why it needs a replacement.

Oh and Hi! haha

So two of Stagecoach's very marginal work in the service 70 and 86H were dumped but what even surprised me more was Merseytravel taking the work up as a tender (187). Isnt there better ways of spending money than this route or is there ring fenced money in this service

Yeah! I really don't understand why they're so adamant for this route to stay! It's useless and also very irritating when you consider the fact that they withdraw routes that people actually use and don't re-tender them! *ahem* 86B *ahem*

So the 83 still has the '02' and '30' pattern for arriving at Conway Street.
Never did understand that.
Is it maybe because those journeys interwork with other services, and so they can afford themselves a bit more flexibility at those times?

No 83 inter works with 83A AFAIK
