Evening services have never really been viable commercially, the old 22/33 going back to C22/C23 have had evening services tendered by mostly the old Cheshire County Council, under Cheshire Bus & Merseytravel, & mostly going Chester-Heswall, the old 186 took over Heswall-West Kirby section

Chester to neston has always been the busiest section as there is no other real way of getting to chester otherwise. Chester to Heswall i would say is the next busiest corridor on this route . The section that could be vulnerable if the tendering authorities wanted to save money would be Heswall - West kirby.
