RE: Liverpool City Region Bus Franchising
When will we find out the service changes for St Helens and Wirral. Some companies have already given notice that they are withdrawing services but nothing has been given notice of new services or changes. |

Some companies have already given notice that they are withdrawing services but nothing has been given notice of new services or changes. Not sure on when we'll find out about service changes but earlier in the thread, there was a propsed list of services (including frequencies). That is the only information we have to go off at present. I'm hopeful some frequencies will be improved from that original list. There were also consultations planned for the proposed routes (these were originally scheduled for early Spring) but there has been no mention of these consultations in the last few months. |

RE: Liverpool City Region Bus Franchising
Bee Network didn't made whole scale changes other than route numbers [mostly in the Wigan & Leigh area] when they took over the network, i think they should leave it as it is, as some proposals i've seen particularly for Moreton are awful. Moreton the Evening & Sunday 423 will be replaced by 413, but Town Meadow area will be left with just the 17 [renumbered to 417] however that will have a 60 minute frequency, were the 423 has a 30 minute frequency, this is franchising at it's worst if this does happen. |

What will be the standard ticketing system for Metro vehicles once Franchising starts? Most companies use Ticketer at the moment with the exception of Stagecoach. Will they be able to continue to use their 'non standard' system? |

Stagecoach have withdrawn their 10A and 157 but the last time I checked, they'd not registered anything. |
