Merseytravel Bus Network Review

Merseytravel, as part of its Bus Strategy, is committed to carry out regular bus network reviews across all areas of Merseyside.

The aim of these reviews is to make sure that the bus network across region meets the contemporary needs of the public and adapts to plans for future housing, leisure and employment developments, building on the work done in reviews in previous years.

As part of the Bus Alliance, Merseytravel is working with Arriva, Stagecoach and the other bus operators through these network reviews with the aim of getting more people using the bus by creating a better bus experience.

This includes improved and simpler networks, value-for-money fare structures that are easy to understand and more investment in the buses themselves. Encouraging more people to travel by bus drives investment and means less reliance on the public purse.

Reviews will be carried out on a regular cycle, with an area being reviewed approximately every six months. On average, each area will be reviewed every 2-3 years, ensuring that the network delivers the aspirations of the Liverpool City Region.

Details on the reviews of each district will appear on this page as and when they take place. You will be able to find out details of the changes proposed to the bus network in each region and give your feedback via an online survey.

There will also be the opportunity to attend drop-in sessions to provide feedback and ask any questions, with representatives from Merseytravel and the bus operators available to answer your queries.

If you are unable to attend the events and give your views on the bus services in your area or would like to ask any questions about the reviews, you can contact our comments team through the Merseytravel website by emailing comments@merseytravel.gov.uk or by telephone 0151 330 1000.
