Anyone know who the new operator is on the 12 (St Helens Circular)?

RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes
It could well be Peoplesbus and the Selwyns operation was just to fulfil their existing contract duration. It'll be interesting to see anyway.

What's with the "operator change" for routes 164 and 411, these are commercial services operated by Avon Buses?

RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes
Have they given up running these two routes commercially ?

What are "Special, non-standard, Merseytravel bus fares are charged on all the buses shown on this page"?

RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes
I rang up and asked today. It's the curennt commercial fare charge by the incumbent operator, in this case cumfybus on the 144 an 135 so customers won't notice any difference in fares. Obviously keeps merseytravels costs down too as they keep the fares.

Wonders whether this is the start of differential bus fare pricing for daytime and Evening / Sunday contract work as an experiment .
