Merseytravel Timetable Changes

RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes
Today in my local free newspaper, the Bootle Champion, there is a short, rather badly written article about forthcoming big changes of services in Bootle and Netherton. In the article it states that Merseytravel set up its stall last week in these two areas to inform and explain these changes to local residents. It states that Merseytravel services 20, 21, 55, 61 and 242 would no longer be tendered and that they would be operated by Stagecoach or Arriva. It also refers to Avon's 135 and the new 63 route. It also reports that these changes are to come into effect next April.

I am confused. Can anybody shed any light on this article or the extent of these changes? I know that on the VOSA thread Arriva services 54, 55 and 58 are scheduled to change in January? Are there any other changes in the area planned for April?
