X22 is going from Neston up to the A540 then straight to Heswall and vice versa.

That's usually what happens when services can not operate via Parkgate , its a case that the service would incur too much time going the long way round into Parkgate for not much gain .

UPDATE: The six Myllenniums are to accommodate until six NEW Enviro 200s arrive. The Streetlites will NOT be coming, this order is cancelled as ADL have promised a better deal. in 2016, 15 - 20 Enviro 400s will be joining the fleet. With thanks to Mr Farrell, Area Managing Director at Arriva North West.

Perhaps the Enviros will replace the X reg cadets. I often see standing passengers on 409, 410, 413 and 414 so these might help. Very seldom does a 487 leave Birkenhead during the afternoon without standees but there is the railway bridge in Neston to prohibit Double Deckers. The answer is to increase the frequency or introduce part way journeys to, say, Clatterbridge.

I think Arriva need to look at how many people are on the 487 from Bebington Mayer Park Roundabout to Neston . How many of those standees are actually travelling on what is the core 464/487 route .

Arriva have over the years played about with the 487 and had it up to a 20 minute frequency , but it quickly reverted back to every 30 minutes.

Arriva want the 487 to be every twenty minutes but Cheshire West won't pay for it. The Cadet's will faze out come their MOTs being up. A shame really, as I like them.
