The 175 has been going to Greasby since September 2016

Which was extended to Greasby after Stagecoach withdrew the 38 Heswall extension which would have left Mill Hill Road & Mill Lane without a bus service, however Avon have introduced an all day 88/88A back in January serving Mill Hill Road & Mill Lane, so the 175 extension is no longer needed.

I personally think the 175 shouldn't change as when I sometimes get on In Greasby It's Actually quite busy

The 175 will be changed again in a few weeks back to Irby only.

A bit of a random one, but I just spotted what appears to be an old MTL Palatine II which is being used on the Isle of Wight as a homeless shelter - "The Bus Shelter".

It's painted all white, but there is a shot in the video that shows some seat upholstery - it's dimly lit but appears to be the old red seat covering.

Even if it's not, it's great to see a bus being put to such an unusual and good use.
