Green Lane operate routes 6 (Liverpool-Huyton/Warrington), 7 (Liverpool-Huyton), 8 (Liverpool to Huyton via Page Moss and Mosscroft), 9 (Liverpool - Huyton via Pilch Lane), 10B (Liverpool-Huyton), 12 (Liverpool-Stockbridge via Princess Drive), 13 (Liverpool-Stockbridge), 14 (Liverpool-Croxteth), 15 (Liverpool-Huyton), 18 (Liverpool-Croxteth Park), 26/27 (Sheil Road Circulars) and 68 (Bootle-Aigburth). I'd say most routes are quite simple, yeah. Smile Green Lane have been taking on recently due to driver shortages, but i'm not sure if they've taken on enough now.

The 10B goes pretty much as the crow flies from Huyton to Liverpool, i'd say that'd be an easy route to learn as would the 15. The 26/27 does a circular which is, once again, easy to remember. I'd say the rest would take a bit of getting used to myself.

Well from someone who once worked at the Runcorn depot, I'm looking for a new challenge so fingers crossed they are taking on guys....

Tell you what the 68 seems to have become a bit unreliable since Green Lane got hold of it, there was been quite a few times when it hasnt turned up when I have been waiting for it at the Bootle Strand. Today I waited at least 1/2 hour and nothing turned up.

2402 was on the 68 again today

Unusual allocations have become more common this past week. I know its not the right thread but 7627 was on the 89 last night.

That booked 2221 off at some point through the day, saw 2402 being driven by a fitter then about half an hour later 2221 was being driven by the same fitter. Perhaps the delays on the 68 could be to do with the constant traffic problems around Old Swan?

With the 68 there is delays and then there is delays, no bus in over 30 minutes is pretty ridiculous, the delays at Old Swan would not cause that amount of delay, this service is going to the dogs at present.
