Apparently there is very little demand on the 22, however whenever I’ve seen it, it usually has a healthy load. If it’s rerouted and doesn’t call at Arrowe Park, will merseytravel fund a new service so West Kirby doesn’t lose its link to Arrowe Park? Or is that wishful thinking?

The echo article aso had, will no longer serve Arrowe Park Hospital or Moreton on evenings and Sundays, if they done proper research[ie looking at the timetable] they'll know the 22 doesn't operate evening & Sundays.

A lot of the passengers when i'm on the 22 are using ENCTS passes

Whether anyone likes it or not bus companies are commercial operator, & as i keep saying a route exists as it has a cash flow, local authorities can step in if they deem a route socially necessary, however given the recent austerity, it's getting harder to provide funding for such services.
