Don't think it's running this year as it normally starts at Easter.

The website also suggests no direct link this year with 'services just a mile from the entrance'.

I'm surprised. If people are relying on public transport then for some a mile, then another half mile to reception, is quite a way to walk bearing in mind that a lot of visitors are families with young children and older people.

agreed and as you will be aware i spent a lot of time on there and the amount of people that got on the bus from outside the UK was high as well, really think they should reconsider putting the bus on

The only time there will probably be a bus to Speke Hall will more than likely be on the MTT Running Day in September.
