Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
I hardly think the running of a train between Manchester Victoria and Wigan at night is relevant. It simply indicates there is demand for a service between here on weekdays but not of a Sunday, presumably with trains to Southport and other destinations filling the void here. The Ormskirk - Preston service also lacks an evening and Sunday service, but like the Kirkby line, it is obviously due to lack of patronage. Trains suffer from glass smashings and vandalism across the country. It certainly isn't an issue limited to (or significantly worse in) Tower Hill.

Furthermore, if the problems are so bad here, why does Merseytravel want to extend the railway from Kirkby station itself in the Westvale area of the town to a new station at Headbolt Lane, one of Tower Hill's major thoroughfares? It certainly doesn't seem likely the EMU service would be curtailed at Westvale during the evenings.

It's not a contradiction to me. At least they have invested in all fairness. New buses are generally not fitted with staircase doors and I don't think it is even an optional feature with the majority of current products either.
