Along with the high amount of dead mileage (due to positioning and lateness), terrible roads (higher maintenance costs) and the many window replacements, the tight timing is one of a few reasons that Impera handed-in their Liverpool contracts early. I've spent a lot of time on the 130/210/250 during the past week and there just isn't enough journey time - once a bus is late, it's nearly impossible to catch-up again...! Four minutes from Walton to Old Roan on the 210/250? Merseytravel, eh...
