RE: Wirral Bus Network Review
A lot of the changes where brought about in the last review because the pool of money was getting smaller and the amount of operators for these contracts was diminishing faster than the sunset on a winters day.

Unfortunately each area will have priorities and Merseytravel , Arriva and Stagecoach had to step up when Avon went bust , but not everything that they had was commercially viable and not all workable from the resources they had available.

22 , needs a lot of money from both Merseytravel and Cheshire West and Chester to keep this route going , Stagecoach can see no future in this route commercially , they themselves have tried a few things , the chopping and changing from routing via Arrowe Park Hospital to Irby Mill Hill , doesnt help .

38/38A , now the main part of the route to New Fewrry , no problem , but if you want to get to Bromborough dont bother , it runs round the block that many times you could get off it on New Chester Road and save yourself a considerable amount of time , im sure this was supposed to be a standalone route 39 in the original plans between New Ferry and Eastham Ferry .

492/5 , Oh this one is a hot topic , think arriva introduced this evening and sunday service as a political measure , if they could come up with a reason to withdraw it they would .
