At the time, it was a Rock Ferry diagram, but nothing showed for 30 minutes. When I complained to Stagecoach, I was told that the duty ran, but the driver thought he was on a service 1, so followed that route all the way to Liverpool.

Oops!

Thinking about it now, how common can that be, especially after a route change, drivers go into autopilot forgetting about the new route & stick to the old one?

Come to think of it, i've seen many drivers, when the 423 went through Sandbrook, forget to go through Sandbrook, then doing a U turn at Moreton Cross, back down Hoylake Road then onto Stavordale Road.
