I don't want to stray too much off topic but at the end of the day when Avon withdraw the 40 and 40A, it may actually be a good idea, I wouldn't say it's the most profitable route in regards to ingoings versus expenses, but in effect it could actually strengthen Avon's position by freeing up other resources to invest elsewhere.

I can't think of any profitable company that isn't in business not in it for the money, that'd be really unethical.

To be fair over X22,First had the Chester - Heswell route before Avon,so with the Stagecoach takeover it might more a case of undoing Firstbuses wrongs.I Actully think theres nothing realy wrong with Avon - Yes the fleet investment has slowed down over the years but with the recent climate the way it is,is it realy a surprise?

like others have said,Stagecoach are looking to make cash out of the Wirral,something firstbus failed to do & like people have said about Manchester,Its good old Bus wars
