I noticed Halton were running the Merseytravel school service 672 (I think the school is Bellevedere (Purple uniform, all girls school)) with MCV 4
Interestingly, MCV 4 was just displaying "672 (blank) "
The service is usually a Napier Point castle Olympian and full! Im guessing this has something to do with VOSA enquiries.

Very possibly! They've had 2 Public Inquiries this year as shown below for seemingly the same offence. Its likely that the contract has been handed to someone else!

Maybe this is why they are meant to be getting some deckers!
RE: Halton Transport - K853 MTJ - 18/06/2012 17:42
Possibly! Hopefully the deckers will be worked on duties that work onto normal public services if they get some!
RE: Halton Transport - The H man - 18/06/2012 18:37
still any official source?
RE: Halton Transport - K853 MTJ - 18/06/2012 18:57
It seems not mate, just a rumour for now
But I run with what I can around here, not often something decent is rumoured to be happening on the Halton bus scene :P

No more than canteen gossip and hot air at the moment. Lets wait and see.
Perhaps Halton will now set-up a coaching unit with a fleet of the new Van Hool double deck integrals each one named after a famous Chemics player?
RE: Halton Transport - The H man - 19/06/2012 19:17

Halton also run the 660 for St Hilda's, which is a total waste of time. When I last saw it waiting on Ullet Road, there was no one on it!
The school finishing time was brought forward by 30 mins last September, but the bus times weren't changed, so no one is going to wait for it especially since Bootle's frequent 60 follows the same route
