I actually think you may find that a lot of bus and rail management read this website in there spare time , its useful for them to get a perspective on what may and what may not work .

They certainly do. I know of a couple of local depots and operators who regularly read this forum

Biggest surprise is the withdrawal of the Citylink. Also to be added the list are the St Helens area changes from 29th March affecting 17, 17A, 33, 35, 35A and 37 which have been added on VOSA today (see VOSA thread for info).

Many of the supervisors and managers at HTL read this forum too for some reason :-)

To confirm some of the changes (and given our drivers now know) I can say what is changing at HTL!

The contracts for the 157/158, 209/259 and 210/241/250 all end in April, however we win the 30/30A (Dingle - Maghull) and the 135 (Aintree - Bootle) as replacements (so 7 buses work lost, 7 buses work gained as 30/30A has PVR of 5) and we gain the 23 (Fazakerley - Kirkby) as an extra weekend daytimes only! Th single morning trip on the 194 ends too however the evening 194/195 isn't effected. The 68A was declined despite winning it as we don't have enough buses or ops discs to operate that and the 30/30A.
