I think that was another selling point they used to get funding for them, reduced noise pollution!

On another note, due to road works at 3 stags / spital crossroads, Today, tomorrow (11th) and sunday (12th) Church road closed between Stanton Rd and Spital Crossroads between 9.30am and 3.30pm on the mentioned dates.

Bus diversions are as follows
- Route 487/488 (Neston bnd) continues straight on at Wirral Grammar School, past Grammar boys along Cross Lane, onto Beechway and on Brimstage Rd and continuing as normal. The return (Lpool bnd) is the same but in reverse.
- Route 410/110 (Clatterbridge bnd) turns onto Heath Rd at Bebington Village then turns right along Cross Lane, onto Beechway and on Brimstage Rd and continuing as normal. The return (Birkenhead bnd) is the same but in reverse.
-Route 419/119 (Mill Park bnd) continues through Beb Village and turns left down Quarry Rd East then onto Bromborough Road, following it until Spital Dam before continuing up Spital hill toward Bromborough along Spital Road as normal. The return (Woodside bnd) is the same but in reverse.

The posters also state that route 410/487 are unaffected on sunday and will run the normal route.
Also worth pointing out that during these diversions, timetable displays at affected bus stops and drivers have been told also that passengers may alight or board a service at any bus stop on the diversions.
I'm not sure about A2B route 112/113 however as theres no mention of that or the 419 on the posters.

Also worth noting that although the diversion in Spital/Bebington is no longer in operation, some drivers are still following it, also delays still expected on 410/419/487 in the Spital area.

Posters up on the buses now regarding route 487, due to road closure, 487 temporarily terminating at Little Neston/Royal Oak and missing out Ness Gardens. Cant remember the start date for that but pretty sure its this week.
