Neston to Heswall another important link .

Beyond Heswall will be left to fend for itself again.

The old 272/273 from Arrowe Park - Heswall -Neston - Hooton was a good link and fairly well used until Helms hiked the prices up, my auntie along with others from Woodchurch area preferred to walk to Upton for the train rather than walk to the hospital for the bus as a return fare to Neston on the train was less than half that of the 272 at the time.

The 22 always has had an uncertain future, a guy who worked at Avon told me when stagecoach first took it over and ran it as the X22 it didn't make any difference to them (Avon) as it made no money, just broke even and it was only ran because it was a needed service. He said Stagecoach would soon jump off when they realised, and not long after he was right and Avon took it back. No matter what they do with this route, it'll never make profit but will always be relied on.
