RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Well, I'm no expert on trains from Wigan as you can tell, but it smacks to me that the evening service between Wigan and Manchester is due to sufficient patronage. This isn't the case on the Kirkby - Wigan section. It is a sure bet that Headbolt Lane is to improve connections in the Tower Hill area and provide an evening and Sunday service to Liverpool, surely a more attractive proposition to the locals than Wigan or Manchester. My point is that the extension is over the section of track that is supposedly so badly vandalised and regularly attacked that trains can't operate by night. If it's so bad, why is it proposed to extend the Kirkby line to Tower Hill and operate at night?

Were there many problems upstairs during the days of Titans on the 20? I can't remember issues being reported locally. Buses that travel through poorer areas are liable to get vandalised, but I'm sure if they had screens upstairs that would at least reduce the level of it. Again, it would be worth seeing what the 20/21-branded Enviro300s look like compared with other routes.
