Looking at the times of the A10, looks like it will interwork with the 137/138 which wil probably mean that the 135 is withdrawn from that date.
Update - having checked the service changes list which was updated yesterday - the 135 is withdrawn from 14th July. Not suprised given the service was down to 5 journeys a day and if the 137/138 are delayed, some of these journeys don't run at all, so thus passengers can not trust the reliability of the service.
Why did they bother withdrawing the E10-12 services just to basically have replacements in later, could have just kept those services with different buses and charging fares.

I believe it has been an issue with funding. I remember that the 12 contract was originally awarded to Peoplesbus but for some reason got changed over to Selwyns. I see no change in costs with this A10 though as it's only making use of a vehicle that would have been on layover anyway.
The 38A the service is a bit strange from New Ferry to Birkenhead Bus Station as this is a route that has not had a service running Evening or Sunday for a while , would be interesting to see the loadings for this service between these points .

In days gone by when there was a Merseytravel 151 service the amount of passengers travelling on it could be counted on one hand there was that few amount of passengers .

Can see the 38A of an evening being cut back to operate Birkenhead Bus Station to West Kirby .
New style bus stop timetables have gone up around liverpool city centre.
Look dead smart. All blue and cream.
