At the same time there was an accident on Old Greasby road, causing the 437's (Liverpool bound) to go around Upton By-Pass and then get stuck in the queue because of the breakdown!

Another problem with those Traffic lights in Upton Village is that the lights from the Moreton direction go to green before the lights from the Upton sainsburys side therefore you will instantly get a backlog if there is lots of right turning traffic . Im surprised there was not police directing traffic but they would have been dealing with the incident on Old Greasby Road , an incident like that though could quite easily cause gridlock once the problem extended over Sainsburys Roundabout . Quite why some of the 437's didnt omit Upton Village is beyond me .
