Arriva operate the internal shuttle buses inside the grounds using usually the most modern buses in the fleet. If you actually watch the races on TV, you can actually see them in the background each year. There won’t be much service strengthening of the above routes bar the appearance of a double decker, most patrons board the train or shuttle services and are directed to as such. Remember that the 310/345 will be diverted away from Aintree anyway as Ormskirk Rd will be closed off to traffic.
