However if its outside the times some people need then they'll lose passengers due to them having to get the train instead.

When the ticketer machines are introduced it'll be a lot better as iMarkeh mentioned above
The wayfarer 400s have had their day now, they can't keep up & it takes drivers a few minutes to sign on which was better when ticket machines still had driver modules that werel removable that had each driver's details on.

Personally meself I can't see arriva lasting much longer, everybody is fed up with them. Their attitude towards customers stinks coupled with some of the drivers being the moodiest buggers around. Also ticket prices have kept going up & up, plus there's still the rumour floating about that DB want to sell their UK business so things don't look too bright for them right now.

Arriva froze fares in the Liverpool area at the flat fare of £2.30 and cut some weekly tickets, as well as extending the Merseyside area validity.
