However, looking on the Merseytravel website, the 209/259 provide the same evening and Sunday link between Netherton centre and Old Roan, albeit on an hourly frequency. But there appears to be no equivalent M-S daytime service! So now I don't understand the point of having three buses per hour where there is no M-S daytime equivalent?

Yeah... I've never understood that myself! I'd love to have a daytime link between Netherton and Old Roan - maybe even a daytime 130 - because it'd definitely be a service that I'd regularly utilise and I'm sure that many other people would utilise it, too. I know that people walk to ASDA in Old Roan (it's about a 20-30-minute walk from Glovers Lane) and I know that people walk to "Nice Netherton" and get on the 55 to there (the bus-stop on Chapel Lane is about a 10-20-minute walk away from Glovers Lane), so I should think that a service between the areas would be well-utilised.

As for the very, very, very, very unreliable and poorly-timed 209/259 - enough said about them!
