This service is provided by Merseytravel www.merseytravel.gov.uk Welcome to your new bus timetable

We (Merseytravel) have produced this new bus timetable as your bus service has recently changed. We do not run bus services - they are run by private bus companies. However, we pay towards essential bus services which the bus companies do not run. In timetables, these services are called Merseytravel Bus Services and are shown by the symbol M .

How to use this timetable

The timetable is split into routes and days of the week (see 1 below). Please make sure you are looking at the timetable for the right direction you want to travel in. The travel direction is shown across the top of the page. On the left side of the page there is a list of the some of the key places along the route (see 2 below). The time the bus leaves each of these ‘timing points’ is shown in columns running from left to right across the page (see 3 below). Each column of times is a separate bus journey. Read the column from top to bottom. First, look for the bus stop nearest where you want to get the bus from. Then, look at the times shown on the same line to find the time nearest when you want to get the bus. Read down the list of times until you get to the time opposite a place near to where you want to get off the bus. This time is your arrival time. We can’t show times for every bus stop, or the timetable would be too big to print in a booklet. Please remember to look for any codes at the top of the page or alongside each column which may change your journey (see 4 below). You can find an explanation of these codes in the ‘Codes’ box at the bottom of the timetable. In some timetable booklets, we show some of the bus stops in italics (see 5 below). This means we have given a rough time for that stop because the bus company has not given us an exact time. Here is an example of a timetable. 224 Liscard to Weatherhead
