Consultation on the Sefton Bus Network
People in the Sefton area were asked what they thought of bus services. As a result of feedback, Merseytravel and the bus operators have decided to make some changes to bus services in the Sefton area. Below is a list of the bus services which are changing. Please read the ideas for changes carefully. The changes will be introduced from Sunday 30 April 2017. If your bus is not listed there are no changes to your service. If you are concerned about any of the changes, or unsure about how the changes will affect your journey, come along and speak to us at one of our drop-in sessions.
If you are unable to attend a drop-in session you can still have your say as follows:
The closing date for comments about the proposed changes is 26 January 2017.
