The branding on these 500 vehicles is very prominent when it comes to the service number but you'll need to be quick to read the tiny writing advertising the route on the sides, which seems to defeat the whole point of 'branding'.

Yesterday's late running could well be to do with the Fusion concert and not any scheduling failure.
Aigburth Road had tailbacks from Garston to the lights at Aigburth Vale plus Jerico Lane throught to Sefton Street was also gridlocked with traffic.

It is indeed - the only clear bit is the John Lennon Airport logo over the back windows the rest very hard to make out

2 of the gas buses on the 500 crashed at 6pm in the lay by before Halton Lea one into the back of the other which was at the stop waiting for vehicle swap to carry on lates. Windscreen all smashed on 1 so there is 2 buses short already!

708/709, 2498 and 2554 have not been in service since the changes on the 2nd. It looks they will be moving on.

Could 708/708 end up in St Helens alongside most of the rest

Another thing, the 82A last buses were 22.04 from Halton Hospital, 0036 from Runcorn High Street 7 days a week, the replacement X1 finishes between 7 & 9pm with no Sunday service so hardly a replacement for the 82A in Runcorn.

Halton Transport have introduced evening and Sunday 61A’s to plug the gap
