Christmas and New Year Services: The Reckoning

RE: Christmas and New Year Services: The Reckoning
The 63 has been introduced to replace both the 62 Bootle-Crosby then the 53A Crosby-Netherton. This is because of the chronic reliability of the 62 which along with 61 is one of the most complained about service. The 53A has been cut too because it has also suffered many reliability issues.
The extension to Fazakerley is being provide too because people have used the 62 between Crosby/Bootle to get to Fazakerley Hospital, and this link has been broken as a result, so rather then have people get the 63 to Bootle then get 62, it was extended the other way to maintain the link its nothing to do with having a go at HTL or Avon merely to maintain links across north Liverpool. If they really wanted to have a go at Avon on the 122 they would have run it more frequent, and the 122 has been running over the 53A happily for the last few years with the 53A more frequent. So this proves they arent interested in going against Avon as they have actually reduced their frequency from every 20 to half hourly.
