Due to technical issues, Arriva services F3 and F5 in Formby are not currently operating.

Not been up there yet but from bustimes, seems the Formby circulars are now in the hands of the Mellors now, 4702 & 4707 tracking....

6 MMC 200 are heading upto Southport today from Luton. Looks like these are not going to St Helens after all. Wonder what's going to St Helens now? Possible pulsar2 from here?

I think Southport were being asked to send 5 Pulsars to St Helens temporarily. From what I can make out, the turning circle isn't great on an Enviro200 so the new bus station might be causing issues ? The 375/385 is going every 20 mins in August so these newer buses may well end up supplementing the double deckers on there for the time being.

If the 375/385 are going to every 20 mins in August, will the 310 be cut back to operate between Liverpool & Ormskirk only? If not, does the Ormskirk-Skelmersdale corridor warrant 5 buses an hour?

You could also ask could it cope with 3 buses an hour, which that would lead to? As a driver of the 310s, I'd say no, certainly not during the peak hours. If you want to encourage people to travel, reducing their choices won't help.

Plus the loss of important direct links along the Maghull and A59 corridor into Liverpool.
