I WONDER why Merseytravel always want to alter the 38 to Rainford. 


First they alter the route and send us round Eccleston.

We accepted this with dismay but at least it was a half-hour service, even though the buses they sent us are the oldest and area and are ready for the buses’ graveyard. 


Now they have decided Rainford only needs a one-hour service. Granted they are not going round Eccleston but can I remind the bosses at Merseytravel not all people in Rainford have a car, and a lot of people – not only pensioners – use this bus like myself most days, and not only for shopping but hospital appointments. 


So how full are the buses going to be? Perhaps the head of Merseytravel could come out of his office and travel on the 38.

 
I know there is disruption at Windle Island but the buses have not been too late so don’t make this an excuse for giving us an hour service.
