It was commercial under Avon. Then Stagecoach ran it commercially but they messed with the route a lot which killed the demand and ran it from Rock Ferry (which is not only higher wages but also costs for the shuttle car and driver). Finally Stagecoach put no care or attention into the route (the 22 is one where a transdev stlye branding, advertising and regular driver would do wonders for passenger numbers). Due to all of that and Stagecoach dropped it and it went out to tender. Stagecoach won the tender so it continued, now the tender went back out and Happy Als have won it.
