tbf their financial records on Company House are not good reading either which is likely an issue with upgrading the fleet

A very interesting comment on that article which may give an idea into the state of affairs at Hattons

Maybe drivers wouldn’t leave mid shift if they got paid on time or buses weren’t held together with sticky tape or have wheels falling off. Maybe they’d recruit more drivers if word hadn’t got round that they try to take drivers who have left to court with false claims of monies owed and fake Mersey travel fines. Kenny Hatton would be ashamed with how his company and name has been ruined.

Not the first time Hattons have completely failed to run the complete last round trip on the 133. How Merseytravel continue to let this happen is something else.

Part of the East Lancs Road was closed due to flooding which may have contributed to the disruption.

Wouldn't of affected any routes as the route out the depot was not affected. Other companies that run on similar routes didn't cancel. It's just a very poor excuse to use.
