This is a result of one service running every 30 mins , and the other every 20 mins , you will get at some point one of the journeys running close to each other , be aware the 38 does detour around the sandbrook .

The 407 also diverts via Millhouse Lane.
Also look at services between Birkenhead Bus Station and Woodchurch where Arriva's 413/414/423/471/472 and Stagecoach's 41/42/471/472 also follow each other.

You have to look at the Woodchurch Road services in isolation as such the 471/2 run to a combined timetable so they aint running on each others toes
No matter how you timetable Woodchurch Road services there will always be a bus ahead or behind , in the future it will be managing that gap that will become important for the LCR .
With the 407 doing one estate and the 38 doing the other there is no real advantage for both routes , unless the 407 goes half hourly as well , but that wont happen because of the interaction with the 471/2 in Liverpool .
6005 has arrived back here from P&P and 6003 has gone to St Helens

I seen in Liscard that the 2921 CX58 FZB VDL SB200 Wright Pulsar has now been fitted with White LED destination blinds quiet weird to see to be honest

It's the way it's done now by Hanover as they no longer produce orange LED display units, 6000 had its front display replaced towards the end of last year with one from a withdrawn Bolton Pulsar.
Former First Leeds B5LH 39232 has turned up at Laird Street, reported to be for spares for Arriva's own B5LH. First Leeds has withdrawn most, if not all theirs recently.....
