I spoke to someone at merseytravel about these changes today and apparently these were the dates the traffic commissioner told them they could withdraw the services after the 56 days notice had passed.
So they should be running until the 4th October.
Those Impera services came off roughly a month ago maybe longer

According to my notes the last 47 that was in service was on the 4th of August, which is 2 months before the cancellation date, im not to sure when the 15 and 16 stopped running though...

Who are WCM that have taken the 150 from Ace? Looks like there is no replacement for the 4 either quite a lot of losses for Ace there.
