RE: Avon Buses
Anybody know what the loadings are like for the 441, 442 and 473? I saw the 2000 from Liverpool at the Birkenhead tunnel tolls last night and the bus was fully seated- is this a normal occurrence? It's a shame there are only a few of each of these services in the early morning and late evening; if they ran a bit later in the morning and a bit earlier in the evening I think there would be a lot of people who would use them. I would certainly not be renewing my Arriva annual pass as the 442 would take me more or less straight to work from home and would save me a good half hour or more from changing buses between Whitechapel and Liverpool One. I know other people from Wirral make the same journey as me as I see a few of them everyday. It seems Avon is the only company to recognise that people have lives beyond the city centre. I understand they use these services as run-ins for Liverpool based services, but I think they're onto something. I saw a post on the Stagecoach Chester page about extending the X8 to Bootle. Again, this could really catch on, but I'd personally prefer to see somebody like Avon benefit over a big multinational corporation. |

I believe that the remaining buses with manual blinds (155, 255 and 355) will be fitted with electronic blinds soon. Also worth noting that 246 apparently caught fire on the M53 yesterday (05/02)! 127, 254 and 509 were all still running around too. View my new Flickr  Updated!

RE: Avon Buses
The 441/442 morning jouneys run into the 144/5, the evening 441 run off the 202. It's been noticed these services are picking up esp well with the unique cross city market |
