RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot
There's a very good reason for these forth-coming services changes - profit. All Arriva garages are under pressure to increase their profit margin so the withdrawal of the 42 is a good indication that the service was not making enough profit. And if Arriva can't make it pay, what chance has anybody else? |

RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot
Most of the 42 is covered by the 44 anyway so hardly a big loss surely |

Just a thought: With Arriva cutting a few services around Southport, could this encourage Rotala having just purchased SLT to introduce some new services in the area? |

Rode 4577 today on 385, had an annoying creeking interior noise at the front over every small bump, I'd imagine the drivers do their best to avoid taking this one out, awful for a new bus |
