From the 25th (the day that Stagecoach cease 53A operation) Arriva's 63 service will operate much earlier (M-Sat) from Fazakerley to Bootle and additional later evening journeys will operate from Bootle as far as Netherton. I suspect that Arriva and Merseytravel have come to some financial arrangement. Never-the-less, this is good news and somebody needs to be congratulated for displaying some common sense. Details are available on the Merseytravel site.

This is a good move. I believe that they receive subsidy for serving the Chesterfield Road area in place of the 162. Perhaps they didn't want to run the short journeys whilst Stagecoach were still running their 53As. Shame that the early-morning and evening journey time is still an absolute joke though.
