RE: Arriva North west and wales new bus and brands 2017
The 329 used to run through to Skelmersdale when North Western (a company who Arriva took over) ran it.

On a more general note, it is disappointing that the only Sapphire/MAX branded service in Merseyside is the X1. Investment being concentrated on new standard vehicles. Although at the other end of the age scale, they have let the likes of the Renowns and DAF single decker soldier on for too long. When compared for example with Transdev who have regularly refurbished their examples, most of the Arriva vehicles still have the original interiors - hardly something that would tempt motorists onto the buses although having said that, this is an area of low car ownership compared to other parts of the country.
