RE: Halton Transport
As has been said, various rumours have been going around for some time of various buyouts for Halton Transport however none have ever happened. One thing that is true, they are apparently buying the Enviro200s that Avon Buses has for sale! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice. I'll be right beside you dear. |

I suspect they are to replace the Solos as they are only short Enviro200s buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

RE: Halton Transport
I hope they do survive but looking at passenger numbers it shocks me how they keep going as the buses seem To run round almost empty |

Just like your employer they are owned by the council and have to justify their existence - if they were not making money and were costing the tax payer any money at all they would have been sold off along time ago. |

It depends how it is done. Plus, if what people have previously said is true and Merseytravel tenders are keeping them going, they wouldn't be a burden until they lost the contracts. |

RE: Halton Transport
Is the 14 the only Halton route that reaches Liverpool City Centre? |
