Hasn't the 118/119 been Merseybus/MTL/Arriva for a long time. Think it was only Crosville for a few months after dereg. Was a similar situation to the 121/122 until last October when Hattons won it.

It has been with merseybus and successors for most of the last 20 odd years if it goes it will be the end of an era , i wonder whether some of the sunday 118/119 turns could be made commercial but not all of them keeping the same number because the 418/9 run to woodside which i dont think is feasible on a sunday but new brighton would be a better idea .
