That was X511 UAT (2511) - its front unit needs to be put to the centre as it seems to have moved across so the end number is behind the black tape at the end of the glass. We looked like a 21 for the majority of the evening (lots of stopping for no reason - just great when running 10 minutes late)...

That is not true though (unless your post was supposed to be sarcastic).

Walton Church - Aintree Retail Park is timed between 9 and 13 minutes, (depending on time of day).

Considering that most of these services run early morning or after the evening peak has finished, I think 9-13 minutes is sufficient for Walton-Aintree.

Oh - the times ARE sufficient? How often do you use the services? The 210/250 leave "Black Bull" at xx:10 and xx:40 and arrive at the "Old Roan Pub" (near the Merseyrail station) at xx:14 and xx:44. In that time, we have to travel through about six sets of (non-bus-favourable) traffic-lights and serve over six bus-stops - and we have to put up with the mindless drivers who park wherever they feel like doing. It may be 9 minutes from "Walton Church" to "Aintree Retail Park", but the times in-between aren't even enough.
