Maybe this is just when I've seen it, it could be different during other times of the day.

I agree with this the first 78 of a morning gets full even when running in tandem with the 79D down wavertree road and the last passengers always get off the first 78 on dale st meaning its left carrying fresh air from dale st to mann island i propose a little change to the first 78 journey mon-sat mornings renumber it 178 or 78A and have it terminate on dale st or exchange st and get some deckers for the halewood routes.

that could be why 3313 and 3332 was on the 78 yesterday

Its due to the university term ending meaning buses are free'd up from the 699.

More bendies to decorate Speke depot! Give the fantastic person who thought that having these redundant this much time in the year was a better plan than then being in use at all times of the year in Runcorn a pat on the back and a round of applause ladies!

RE: Arriva North West - Speke Depot
i think the bendies would be perfect the peak time X1 and X30 buses as they get really packed! the 501 is a waste of them but the 500 does sometimes warrant them with me being a regular passenger on there

My mistake - 3313 was on the 78 when I saw it about 0830, not on the 75 or 80 as I quoted earlier

Had an 07 reg cadet think it was 2633 on the first 78 this morning and it was packed before we got to picton clock tower and picked more people up down wavertree rd too cadets are not suitable for halewood routes as they are to small i think the 55 and 07 cadets should have gone with the x reg ones and some full size buses bought in to replace them.
