Arriva North West - St Helens Depot

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
I use the 89 regularly and I wouldn't actually have said it's been all that bad recently and I certainly haven't noticed a huge drop in the reliability of the service compared to others recently.

This said, reliability was absolutely abhorrent across the entire St Helens network today and the 89 did at one point go without a departure from St Helens for a good 50 minutes. Everything has been running in pairs with services dropped left right and centre, vehicles allocations being swapped upon arrival in the bus station and delays a plenty though. 10As ran pretty sufficiently mind with vehicles coming in on 10s being, rather irritatingly for those who can only use that service, swapped straight onto 10As for the best part of 45 minutes.

It also says something when Merseytravel actually take it upon themselves to announce that 'All service running in and out of the bus station are subject to severe delays' over the PA system!
