Have Merseytravel coughed up for a replacement Saturday daytime journey per hour or is it just timing changes to the current Evening & Sunday service? I do feel that the Saturday reduction is one cut too far as it will mean most of Sutton Manor and Clock Face will only have 1 bus per hour (aside from the also hourly 32) in the daytimes. I'm sure all will be revealed in the fullness of time.

Does seem to be the case that Arriva are cutting Saturday services in St Helens.
