due to lockdown etc, maybe waiting for repair or parts

Due to flooding, the 82A is skipping Hale Village and Halebank.

Very unusual to see an 82A pass me on the other side on Speke Road!

Always floods here as a rule the buses turn right at Halebank and to Higher Road and pick up the route again on the bad bend the other side of Hale

Yeah that’s what I’ve known to happen.

Although this time it turns off Hale Road onto the slip road onto Speke Road, Speke Boulevard, Western Avenue, Airport and then as normal route. Completely avoiding Halebank, Hale Village and the East of Speke.

Effectively becomes the X5 between Green Oaks and Western Ave

Flood must be dreadful for the locals, and to add to insult, no bus service for the rest of the night at least.
