Just thought this would be neater than putting changes in the depot/company threads and make it a bit like the Manchester thread.

To start us off:

4th April
Stagecoach has lost the CWACC & MTravel 22 tender to Happy Als. This will move from the 4th April.


11th/12th April
Arriva changes from 11th April:
7, 10B, 12, 13, 15, 18, 60, 61, 62, 63, 68, 78, 80, 80A, 81, 81A and 82 have timetable adjustments. Generally giving more running time in the peaks (upto 15 mins extra in one or two cases). Some routes have less running time off peak and others are just a timing point moving.

26/27 - Services increased to run every 12 minutes Mon-Fri
52/52A - Services increased to run every 24 minutes each, every 12 combined.
76 - Service increased to run every 30 minutes Mon-Fri

Also in Runcorn, all services will be rerouted to serve the old bridge and the X30 Halton Lea - Warrington morning trips extended to start back at the depot.

Stagecoach changes from the 12th April is that the 1 will get an extra bus per hour on a Sunday meaning a combined 1/X1 frequency of every 20 minutes (a 20/40 gap on service 1 which isn't the best for passengers).



Any further updates, please feel free to post them.

Where can I find the source for this information? I've tried digging on the Merseytravel and Arriva website but no luck, then again this could be on a private section.of the respective websites so its probably better waiting.
