First of all, the operator was a coach company from Walsall, West MIdlands - where are the modern vehicles form a certain local bus operator that rail passengers in other areas of the City Region have enjoyed when they have had major blockades recently. Then at Huyton, there was a driver changeover which took approximately 15 minutes (why this couldn't have been done at either end of the journey is a mystery), in Prescot, the coach nearly turned into a street with a dead end (and if I hadn't have intervened, it would have done). With all these delays, it missed the train connection at St Helens Central by a good 10 minutes. Hardly 'quality' is it.

Is that the one where a passenger complained that he'd just missed the train for Wigan, moaning about being late for work?
Nice thing about that coach was it was nice and cool with part leather seating
