RE: Merseytravel Contracts - Jack - 02/09/2012 20:59
I fancied a change, ah well!
RE: Merseytravel Contracts - buses7675 - 03/09/2012 13:23
The Saturday AM 156 (Liverpool - Netherton) has been retained by Arriva and now numbered 56A (this remains a contract too, it isn't commercialised), while the evening/Sunday 156 operated by HTL since last year is now renumbered 56.
The morning journey 827 (Old Swan - Kirkby) will be operated by HTL from 7th October too (evening one remains with Ace Travel) though this change isn't on the list it is one worth adding for completeness!
Just checked the VOSA archive too, Arriva seem to have retained the AM 192 (Halewood - Kirkby) too, a change is registered to that from 7th October 2012.

Andy I think Cumfybus have the 133 Kirkby-Crosby, not absolutely certain though.

Merseytravel are currently in talks with Ace travel and cumfybus over the maghull circulars as cumfybus have apparently come forward and said that its not worth them running at the same time that Ace are running their commercial service on it so looks like this could go either way heard it from an ace driver last night.
RE: Merseytravel Contracts - buses7675 - 07/09/2012 19:16
If Ace operate the same routes commercially (and they truly cover the same roads etc) Merseytravel aren't really allowed to pay for a contract to run over the same routes so I guess the problem is finding out exactly which routes Ace are going to run commercially then sorting that out with Cumfybus in regard to the contract they were expecting to start.
RE: Merseytravel Contracts - wirralbus - 08/09/2012 04:18
Another problem then arises , what happens if Ace subsequently pulls off the commercial work , Merseytravel will not be amused .
RE: Merseytravel Contracts - buses7675 - 10/09/2012 13:41
A few more timetables are now up, confirming Arriva will still operate the 192 (Halewood - Kirkby) AM buses as expected and Arriva are going to operate route 110 (New Brighton - Woodside) AM buses, ex Avon Buses.
