If you read between the lines the Blacon Pointer services never got touched , so if they clean up the Wirral services the QBP routes wont be touched , which dont leave much to fiddle about with .

The 38 and 41/2 are the only ones that can be tinkered with .

I would love to split the 41/42 back to Birkenhead - Mill Park and reintroduce a service from Woodchurch - Birkenhead . What seems to be happening regularly particulary on a Saturday at the moment is that 41 and the following 42 seem to be catching each other up , which means somewhere there is a 20 minute gap. A shorter route route means these gaps shouldnt appear as regularly.

They can't do that to the 1/2 without consent from Merseytravel, Cheshire and Cheshire West Council, and Arriva all agreeing to the changes

I wonder how this will affect Foregate with regards to traffic, I can imagine some elderly residents will be complaining alongside Chester market about how these changes will effect market patronage, as per the bus station disruptions a few months ago.
It will be a shame once the new shopping centre is constructed on the site that less local bus services will call there.

You have to remember though that any change to a QBP route has to go to statutory consulation with the authority (Merseytravel), and other operators/stakeholders, so any changes there are more of a long-term aspiration.

To be honest the 38 could operate a one way loop around Port Sunlight and New Ferry , it allows both places to be served . First tried and couldnt make it work coming into Port sunlight though.
