Wonder whats going on...?

I suspect that some of the more affluent and rural areas of Sefton stand to lose their supported services and the operators are refusing to run them at a loss. Thirty years ago, the then government accepted that certain bus services would need subsidies but in the current financial climate the money is just not available. Just look at what happened to Lancashire's supported services last year. Most of them were withdrawn when central government cut funding by £7 million.
