RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes
The Eazibus 165 (Belle Vale Circular) started in October 2009 IIRC (thus the 59 reg Enviros) so should run to October 2017 based on it being an 8 year contract which I think it is.

RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes
I am also looking forward to that page being updated as would shed some light on the upcoming changes but i have a feeling we will be waiting a while yet as the changes are still a good while away yet

Contract change date and commercial service changes coinciding usually merseytravel go into there slow update mode , as there getting bombarded with information , usually if you try to do things quickly you make mistakes , so best to be slow and methodical.

RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes
i think Avons 18 extension to Liverpool is a great idea as i have seen some of the running afternoon trips pick a fair few up

Think another major shock is the lack of an evening service to Parkgate , with all services terminating at Neston Royal Oak on the 487.

There is no logic is it says that the Sunday service is unaffected .

The Sunday daytime service is probably unaffected. The lack of an evening Parkgate service is probably as a result of poor patronage and/or withdrawal of subsidy by Cheshire CC.
