It's not my fault both Arriva and Stagecoach want to operate the same route - a person can only buy one ticket, so both operators should honour each others tickets so long as they share the route. Merseytravel should also enforce this as a QBP regulation.

Completely agree, I know operators will allow the Merseyside dayriders to board but and those with solo passes but its when you see students in the freezing cold or in heavy rain and they're stranded if you like with a crowd till a bus that accepts their pass to appear. Then theres the question of boarding.

I have said in a previous post as we're off topic a new thread should be created.

And guess what there is a pulsar on the 10. Yet 4167 is being wasted on.somrthing that doesn't require a DD.

Was they both on those routes since first thing this morning or has 4167 done a school run?

I didn't realise until last night that a Pulsar still does a late duty on the 10. I thought this had stopped when the duties were changed last year.

Is there a new allocator or something? You'd put 4167 on the 10/A, a pulsar or 2710 on the 352 and 723 on a 30 something route.
