Maghull has a population of over 20,000 and the station is some way from both the town centre and most of the residential areas. Also, Arriva does not operate any services over these specific days hence the need for these Merseytravel services. Formby has a population nearer to 25,000 and I suspect the F6 circular run by Cumfybus is also being subsidised this year.
