Sure we get 42s every hour which is a waste of time but for anybody going anywhere on prenton hall road they have to wait for this stupid 41B to go to arrowe park hospital first, then wait for it to come back
"Possibly" as a 41A.

To me as an ex bus driver myself, it further reinforces a point I made on the stagecoach chester and wirral thread that companies should quit goofing around with the routes.

Impera did that with the 39 when they operated it and ended up losing it because the traffic commission rightly stripped them of the route as they were fed up with complaints about it.

Hmm, maybe I should work for the traffic commission because I would have no qualms whatsoever about coming down like a ton of bricks on companies who mess customers around and if that meant stripping them of the route/s so be it.

Note to Stagecoach " GET RID OF THE 41B " its a pile of junk.

I agree, the route is an absolute shambles. It has been for some time. There’s no need for it to go to Arrowe Park, there’s no service between the hospital and Woodchurch Saturday and Sunday daytimes anyway. The timings in the evening are so tight, offering just 7 minutes to get from Mill Park to Bromborough Cross. They’ve added the 41B to save about 10 minutes off a journey so there is more time to complete a round trip. However it is very confusing and the evening services now run at odd times per hour (ie 04 and 32). The Sunday daytime service is adequate, simple timetable and should be implemented in the evenings, when a round trip can be completed easily within 2 hours.
