They could have saved money by tightening the times up a bit and not having each bus during the night and on Sundays sitting at Aintree Station for nearly 30 minutes doing nothing but draining money away. They didn't even try to save the service.

Watched the 18:40 63 leave Bootle Strand four minutes late and it was running a few minutes early by the time that it got by Liverpool Freeport... Imagine what that's like for a two-hour trip! Like the 53A of a night, the evening 63 will drain any profit due to an extra bus being on it for no reason at all, which is down to poor planning.
