The only times that can be trusted are those on the running board itself. Merseytravels publicity department is notoriously useless, and quite often the Times in the shelter are completely different to those on the running board and even those in the merseytravel timetable booklets, so it's anybody's guess! Traveline is probably a more accurate method to find out times.

As long as a bus leaves the timing points on the running board between 1 minute early and 5 minutes late it is classed as ON TIME, yes even 1 early/5 late is considered as on time by the traffic commissioner. The time a bus reaches stops in between timing points is irrelevant. The times for stops in between is at best a guess.

If a 413/4 is in the traffic commissioners time window when departing Woodside, Birkenhead Bus Stn, Storeton rd, Arrowe park, Upton vill, Moreton Cross, wallasey village and liscard then it is on time. Can't remember if they're the points, its been a while since I've seen the boards for this route.
