Arriva Strike

RE: Arriva Strike
When the multiple day strikes happen, will Merseytravel step up to the mark and fulfil their remit, which is to ensure an adequate bus service? , I don't know about Liverpool, The Wirral or St Helens, but large areas of Southport will have no bus service! It's OK Merseytravel to say, yes, but six out of the twelve bus routes are operating, but they all work along or near to the A565, leaving most of the inland side of the town including the Hospital without any service. A few years ago Cumfybus attempted to operate a bus route connecting Crossens, High Park, Blowick & Birkdale to the Hospital, a link not provide by MTL but they were forced off by Arriva's predecessor MTL, all the areas that are now solely served by Arriva. I for one will not be using Arriva in Southport in future.
