QBP Liverpool and Wirral

RE: QBP Liverpool and Wirral
Not seen a First bus on the 471/2 the two vehicles i saw in prenton were both Arriva DLA's , just about acceptable , you would have thought that both companies knew exactly when the QBP was going to start and get reasonably good vehicles in or at least hold off the QBP till middle August when the Olympics had finished and the cascades could start properly. A case of a Merseytravel and the bus companies rushing something.

What is the reasoning for the peak workings to and from Barnston , do these trips beyond Heswall carry many passengers .

RE: QBP Liverpool and Wirral
I would trace them back to the 418 the original peak hour variant of the 419, which did the Lower Village Loop. I suspect the Barnston extension was to give a peakhour service to Barnston after the 75/6 stopped. It also gets the 472 back closer to Laird Street in service.

Hmm quite a lot of the locals who wait at my stop Sir Thomas Street were quite confused this morning which is understanding tbh, the time table for 1/2 471/472 for some seems a bit hard to understand and it is confusing from my own experience to be honest. If a quality partnership is to work, they should not change the frequencies or services , buses should be refurbished adequate (I:e Double Deck ) and of course tickets should be allowed to be used on the routes the QBP is based upon - in my view anyway

RE: QBP Liverpool and Wirral
There was always going to be confusion with any QBP's on the Wirral as either First or Arriva where going to be using a route number which is alien to them .
