Its all the more ironic, given the comments about a lack of 'deckers in Liverpool compared to the operations of their biggest competitor. I'm not sure how long the "diversion" route is (ie. how many stops missed out), nor how far from the proper route, it is. But certainly, if we take Wirralbus's scenario, then it would be interesting to see what would happen if inconvenienced passengers complained direct to the Traffic Commissioner. A lot, of course, would depend on the time of day; If this happens *very occasionally* at and around peak times, due to unforseen circumstances - and a Race meeting certainly wouldn't qualify as unforseen! - then OK. However, if happening in the evening when the inconvenience is greater (hour gap instead of 30 mins), and there should be plenty of single-deckers available, then it is rank bad management - not something those of us at the eastern end of the A580 would associate with Stagecoach.
