A CAMPAIGN petition has been launched to save the threatened X1 Bus Service in Runcorn.
The service is being considered for the axe by Arriva and Mike Amesbury, Labour's parliamentary candidate for Weaver Vale, said it was a 'vital' service for parts of his constituency.
He said: "I've been out canvassing and picking up issues on the doorstep, and undoubtedly the biggest issue I've encountered in East Runcorn so far is the cuts to this service.
"The loss of Arriva’s X1 service will be a serious blow to the people of East Runcorn who rely on the service to get quickly and reliably to and from Liverpool for work, leisure and access to medical appointments.
"We have to keep this vital service."
