Not true, 16's are currently going down Manor Drive as far as Uplands Road, down there, to Moreton Road then left to Upton

Do we know if the 16/17 is doing better as a combined route, rather than just the 17 / 17a ?

If im being honest the original section of the 17 route is probably feeling the pinch as it has lost a couple of services an hour , im just not sure there is the passengers to make it worthwhile on the other side of Upton but it saved Merseytravel some money by doing it though .

Do you think an hourly 38a service during the day would compensate and provide more
Inks to likes of West Kirby, Heswall and Brombrough?

Why would Avon do a 38A?


RE: Avon Buses - WAITING FOR THE 437 - 22/09/2014 07:57

I didnt suggest Avon doing it! I suggested it as an idea to supply a service at Saughall Massie which has now been reduced to hourly service due to Avon introducing the 16 / 16a. This was obviously introduced with a sweetner from Merseytravel so they could pull the 181

Just observed Caetano Nimbus bodied Dart SLF KU02 YBB (202) on the 83 to West Kirby Concourse, I assume it is its first day out in traffic?


RE: Avon Buses - busdude - 03/10/2014 19:29

Seen KU02 YBB on the 93 today and I must say it looks extremely smart! It's nice to see something different in their fleet for a change


RE: Avon Buses - YN05 WKE - 03/10/2014 19:58

Not keen on the black headlights on 202

821 or 841 has also been repaint (one with black smartie fabric on module seats)


RE: Avon Buses - N271CKB - 03/10/2014 21:11

It's 821, 841 was withdrawn, fire damaged quite a while ago
