This is the Birkenhead depot thread and I really don't think that Arriva DB is in any danger of going under although it may end up in different ownership. IIRC, the rules were established to prevent cowboy outfits running clapped-out, step-entrance buses through Merseytravel's modern bus stations.

As a matter of interest, how many small, independent companies running commercial or tendered services still exist on Merseyside?
