There doesn't seem to be regular intervals between hourly services, when one bus can follow another after 20 minutes and then no bus for forty minutes. And how can one bus take an hour from end to end and yet a bus that leaves ten minutes later can take an hour and fourteen minutes. And what is with the short Sunday journeys on the 407?
There will be a bedding in phase , then some of the times will be altered to suit road conditions , as there will be fines for consistent late running and if vehicles have to stand around to keep to timetables .
One thing that will have to be looked at now both St Helens and Wirral are up and running is bus tracking as both arriva and stagecoach had apps that had tracking , no tracking is a step back.
Another thing i find annoying, whilst the 483 stops in Saughall Massie [Saughall Massie Road opposite Brookside Cresent] the 484 doesn't, that goes straight from Saughall Massie Road to Overchurch Road, don't know why the 484 can't do a loop to serve that stop.
I do think the evening & Sunday 417 should have been shortened to operate Moreton-Clatterbridge, that takes about 50 minutes so only need to use 2 buses plus you don't have that insane 35 minute layover in Moreton as well.

I think we will have to see when they go through journey data in the next 6 months to see what can be withdrawn and what can be improved and what can be removed or altered.
St Helens should have its ultraliner should be out on the 10 or 10A today
