Great! Moreton circular services, that carry round this air most of the day, night and weekend now has early morning journeys to carry round more this air! Wouldn't it be better if Merseytravel funded the rerouting of existing services to serve these areas or extend the 106/107 to operate from Saughall Massie to Liscard and New Brighton so the buses actually go somewhere not just wander round the back roads of Moreton and Leasowe?
