And it’s continual strike action. They won’t be returning until Arriva get back with an improved offer.
Good luck to them. I hope they get what they want.

Need to restructure the services . We don’t need 20 minute services ,go
30 or more we will adapt. So many buses running with a handful of people
on them.

Hardly going to inspire people to “ditch” the car and use public transport by cutting services.

Some areas have been completely cut off in recent years like High Park, Kew and Upper Aughton Rd, Cemetry Rd and parts of Ainsdale which now just has a circular route and is very spaced out.
The buses used to run all over the place, even Queens Rd doesn't have a bus service running down there anymore I don't think. Mind you, I've not been that far up in town in recent times.
I caught the 15a back from town the other day that runs to Clive Rd, the only downside to this is that it's a three quarter mile walk back home which isn't great if you've got a pile of shopping to cart home.

That's not so good for people who rely on the buses often at the lower end of the income chain.
Have some consideration for those at the bottom.
Are you one of those closet I'm alright Jack right-wingers?

What I find amusing is where people think this is going to end?
We have different sectors getting disproportionate pay rises, recently it's been HGV drivers. We are getting the minimum wage raised by over 6% that's double inflation. These things all have a knock on effect. Everything goes up and people are no better off, but those on fixed income are worse off.
Short term gain for a long term loss, with a lot of disruption in-between.

Yes it does. It knocked a kid off a bike a few weeks ago.

Didn't see that one. I thought they'd made it one way and diverted the buses towards Albert Rd.

It's still two way but only open to Buses and Bikes - Allegedly!

Nice try but low on effort. I don’t take the bait that easily. Must try harder comrade.

2% pay rise unacceptable - Unite pushing for more to keep its members happy.

The Arriva 44 service uses Queen's Road.

You have to admit you have showed little concern for Bus users.
