3312 was on 42/44s for the most part of yesterday. Deckers are more than ultra-rare on these routes.

They certainly are. I cannot remember the last time one was utilised on that route.

An Olympian (3309 IIRC) was used on the 42/44 soon after it arrived from Bootle. Generally very rare to see though.

The 49 will revert to every 10 minutes in September, but will keep the simplified route in Woodvale at the terminus 7 days a week from then. I assume that means an end to the 49A? Makes sense I suppose.
The route appeared to be pretty much all Pulsar operated today.

I also note that the three Park & Ride route contracts are up for renewal this Autumn, Sefton want the route to also serve the Ocean Plaza, which Arriva refused point blank last time it was mentioned. Interesting to see what happens.

Seriously, though... I've heard a rumour (many times, actually!) that Bootle will be receiving some Enviro200s soon. If Southport do lose the Park and Ride contract, that rumour might be true (hopefully not!)...

Seriously though Southport why did Sefton build the Kew Park and Ride then hardly use it except for high summer months , the site looks better than some of the sites that are used round the country by other councils and for the vast majority of the time sits empty .
