Difficult to find new timetables on the new set up (the RSS feed currently has just shown two new ferry timetables and two Wirral schoolbus ones so finding proper ones requires just looking, based on VOSA info) so apologies for these not always being in the correct order!

One solution I have found is searching for 1, then 2, then 3 etc up to 9, then E, X, C which should bring up most timetables but this isn't failsafe - I notice some timetables are still missing, such as the 899 timetable. The 899 is covered in the 897/898 one but still, it should come up after searching for 899 which it doesn't!

I just feel sorry for the general public trying to navigate around this new set up.

I really would love to know who designed this website it is not straightforward like the previous incarnation of the website , was it just changed so that somebody could say i did that .

Yes it's awful - and so un-user friendly. It would help if the maps weren't a year out of date - the old site was so much easier to use. If you're listening and watching Merseytravel take note and please give us theold site back.


RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes - MTL0201 - 09/11/2012 11:24

I've tried using the new Merseytravel timetable search on my Mobile, using both Mobile & non Mobile formats & it's awful, i type in the route number & select search, & just goes to the timetable search page, & the timetable i want for downloading does not appear. The old site especially for bus timetables was so much better & easier to use, well was for me.

I actually think merseytravel are probably now struggling to catch up and if there is a further change in the pipeline they will be loathe to waste a print run.

Christmas and New Year Public Transport 2012 - 2013
http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/travel-updates/Documents/Christmas%20and%20New%20Year%20public%20transport%202012.pdf

As a quick review, Stagecoach as expected are running almost every Christmas Day contract with the exception of the 194X.19% which is to be operated by Widnes Commercial Motors!

Really annoying yet again, apart from 450 there's no bus service Boxing Day & New Years Day evening.Hammer
