Which is every 60 minutes in the proposals, they need to be at least every 30 minutes, the old 83/83A was every 30 minutes, if that's the route the 483/484 are taking.

I can’t personally say that Moreton to West Kirby requires more than 3 buses per hour, the current buses usually pass by empty bus stops

I wonder whether Merseytravel day tickets will be valid on these services run under permit to them?

One thing i will say, when the Bee Network became active they kept what they already had & reviewed the network afterwards, & most of the changes have been renumberings, that is what should have happened here, kept what they have & do network review at a later date not what feels like both at the same time.

Not quite. The Bee Network routes were drawn up before Little Gem collapsed, and they didn't initially include any provision for Warrington's Own Buses operating subsided services in Greater Manchester, or the Bee Network extending out to Warrington. That meant the X5 Warrington to Manchester Airport was split into three routes!

One thing I have noticed and not sure if it's been brought up the historic 129 will be no more once franchising happens it's not even on the list
Sure I read something a while ago saying that it has to run due to the nature of the route
This begs the question why wasn't it withdrawn years ago as it's a pointless 1 trip once a week route
from memory no one ever gets it as loads of operators have operated it since first (Ace Travel, Impera, Stagecoach, Eazibus, A2B and I'm sure Cumfybus did briefly at one stage)
