Sometimes services take time to build passenger numbers just look at the X8.
Imperia started the 39 New Brighton to West Kirby which resulted in arriva introducing the 414 Arrowe Park- New Brighton and also the 98 to Liverpool.

I personally think the West Kirby - Hoylake - Meols stretch could do with a direct Liverpool Service especially with the current rail replacement work in the rails ! I'm surprised no one has thought about a 438 !

It's only Avon now that's left to try different routes. As Arriva and Stagecoach seem happy with Status Quo.

Arriva & Stagecoach are no longer so happy with Status Quo since Rick Parfitt died.

I can not keep up with the tinkerings that Avon do there routes , if an enthusiast cant keep up with them , what are the passengers thinking.

RE: Avon Buses
I can't believe anyone in their right mind would have thought the 23 would work! Also think the 91/92 alterations are struggling! They have missed off large parts of the Oxton routes that the 93 covered which worked well! Crazy decisions

RE: Avon Buses
The thing with the 23 is scotland road and walton leading upto the blackbull as too many frequent bus services running through there.
Stagecoach running a bus through there every couple of minutes and arriva throwing a bus through every 15 or so minutes just doesn't leave enough custom for another service that runs half hourly.

RE: Avon Buses
Exactly! So it was a strange decision to even try
