RE: Fifteen years since the sale of MTL to Arriva
16 years now since Arriva takeover, Arriva have been weird, half the network has been cut but frequencies increased on core routes, & would have seen routes cut no matter who took over MTL,. Arriva have finally got round to buying deckers for the busy routes 10/10A10B/12/13/15/52/52A/75, with the 18 getting deckers later this year, some routes like 15/18 which were 20 minutes under MTL are have doubled in frequency. MTL's foray into Rail is what cost it big time, bleeding money left, right & centre.

Big mistake by Arriva was the St Helens network changes in 2006, that MTL had kept most of the network from the PTE era shows that the PTE got the network right
