RE: Hattons Travel (Nip On Transport)
It will have been parked at Bootle most likely, they do run the 144 of a daytime and that has been in the Bootle layover in the past.

Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.

They also had notices in their vehicles last week that due to staff shortages, the 12 would be reduced to Hourly from 1430 onwards although confusingly, these notices stated that the last journey of the day was still at 1700 (no times were given as to which journeys would operate).

Every company is suffering with driver shortages at the moment it’s huge. In Manchester coach firms from as far as North Yorkshire have been doing emergency Metrolink replacement work because nobody locally has the drivers.
Hattons are not the only ones.

The 156 is greatly reduced at present as the Evening/Sunday service is also down to 2 hourly due to HTL's staff shortages.

We probably have another couple of weeks of intense service disruption due to staff sickness before it starts to settle down again. This disruption is beyond the control of any company and the staff are just following government guidelines on self isolation.
