It’s a vital route, connecting communities other-what isolated from one another. The last buses between Heswall and West Kirby are too early though since the most recent change. Half 5 in the week from Heswall to West Kirby. If gone to tender, I’d like to see this service finish around 7.30.
In the distant future, perhaps we could see a West Kirby - Neston tendered service for Sunday daytimes. Although there would be considerable layover as this was only achieved on the 88 as it interworked with another route.

I have caught the 1930ish service from West Kirby to Neston a couple of times before the latest timetable change, and I have been the only passenger on it each time, bar a couple which just travel between West Kirby and Greasby who have jumped on because it was there - they could have otherwise caught a 437. It certainly isn't viable, It probably would have been busier had it come on immediatley when the 88 was lost as it had a few passengers.
