RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
(28/11/2023 14:15)MTL0201 Wrote: I've just seen the Arrive service levels & it's worse than ever, no Arriva buses in Wirral, St Helens or Southport, on Boxing Day & New Years Day, the only routes Arriva are running are 10B, 12, 13, 26, 27, 56, 58a, 166, 188, 201 and 204, that is shocking. To be fair one of the biggest draws to passengers using Boxing Day services was to travel to/from retail destinations for both leisure and work. Most retail companies have been following the trend of not opening on Boxing Day to allow staff time with their families, on top of most Boxing Day sales being held online from midnight rather than the 5am openings. I’d imagine for Arriva all services will be worked from Green Lane Depot including the Speke Merseytravel routes |

Not sure where to post this, but according to this ECHO article Stagecoach could get around 58 electric double-decker buses operating within the Liverpool City Region should the bid go before authority leaders next week. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liv...s-28254802 |

The christmas and New Year pdf is so late this year , probably means Merseytravel are seriously not in a happy place with both Stagecoach and Arriva not operating a largely commercial service on Boxing Day , New Years Day was always a notoriously slower day . |

There are actually two bids. The main bid is for 58 (52+6), to convert the 14, 17, 19, 20/21. The other is a fallback bid, 24 (21+3) for the 17, 19. Stagecoach has indicated they're prepared to fund the procurement themselves, but LCR are reluctant as they want to control the specification and own the buses from the outset. |

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
At one time, all Boxing Day/New Year's Day services were funded by Merseytravel, most services operated until late night too, here's one from 2000 which shows all Boxing Day/New Year's Day services funded by Merseytravel https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GESbLDB...4_QGV/view shortly after Arriva, GTL, & First [now just Arriva & Stagecoach] started operating Boxing Day/New Year's Day services commercially but last buses are 6-7pm rather than finishing late night, this year services have been dramatically reduced, certainly if you're relying on Arriva.

The boxing day and new year services merseytravel normally pay for but this year merseytravel have apparently said they are not willing to fund it. |
