How you can help
Consider your alternative travel options. You can use the Merseytravel journey planner.
Check timetables and leave more time for your journey.
Avoid travelling at peak times where possible.
Stick to public transport wherever possible to reduce congestion on key routes in and out of the city centre including Mersey Tunnels.
Speak to your employer about whether there is any flexibility in working times or the possibility of working from home.
Bus services
Arriva services in Merseyside will not be running with the exception of the 713 and the existing park and ride services in Southport.
All Arriva tickets will be accepted on Stagecoach services on the advertised Quality Bus Network – however these services will be very busy. Details about the Quality Bus Network can be found here.
