What do people think the future holds for Laird Street? It always seems to be the depot where services are cut more than the others

Another factor is that the prospect of franchising within the LCR is a possibility, albeit a small one. Arriva may well be playing a waiting game until the whole Brexit debacle is resolved and a decision on franchising is made.

Personally, I don't think any clarity will occur until 2020.

LS at the moment is showing all the signs of DB wanting to sell, be interesting to see what happens but agree nothing will happen until all this brexit stuff is dealt with.

Apparently an overhanging tree in Newton so saloons on 432/3/7. Ideal on one of the busiest shopping days of the year..

I’d hazard a guess but I’d say if this was Stagecoach the situation would be sorted out a lot quicker or arrangements made to assist drivers on the route
