Very interesting, appears to be a circular! Perhaps runnings to Cronton then via Hoguh Green Farm to town along 14 route? Who knows!

I really do hope there are changes to the evening times because for some reason right now, I have noticed that the 79C is timed to run only a few minutes before the 79/D's of an evening.

Yep you've guessed it, a cadet picking up most of the passengers whilst a gemini runs behind close to empty on occasions.

79D is being extended to Netherley, and 3 minutes more running time towards Liverpool all day.

Interesting. So will this be the end of the Belle Vale loop?

Yes, increased PVR too by 2 buses i think.

Ah ok. It's a shame really because a good number of people use the 79D purely for easier access to Belle Vale Centre & Morrisons. Plus the fact they don't have to cross the busy Childwall Valley Road. Although admittedly, hardly anyone boards the return 79D at the terminus.

Ive seen quite a few get on at the bus station, its easier than going down that long ramp and stairs!, I personally thought it was a useful link as people from Lee Park were closer too.
