Regarding the loss of the 30/30A, I too am surprised that it is being curtailed as it is the only service connecting the County/Walton Road area with the isolated Vauxhall Road area which are both within the Liverpool boundary rather than Sefton (prior to deregulation, route 20 provided this link) and whenever I use the 30/30A, a lot of passengers use it for travelling between these two areas.

Some new timetables are now on line and they don't bear much resemblance to the initial press release. The peak hour 103 is being retained and the (M-S)135 daytime service is to operate between Netherton (Magdalene Square) and Dingle on a 30-minute frequency. I'm sure that the 135/235 will in essence resort to its original route when it was introduced in October 1986.
