@MTL0201 I'm sorry mate but I really don't understand your massive problem and issues with Liverpool South Parkway being used by National Express. As I have suggested ALL National Express journeys could serve both Liverpool One and Liverpool South Parkway with the order of stopping at each place depending on which way the journey comes into or leaves Liverpool, meaning that the likes of you who don't want to use Liverpool South Parkway don't have to and can travel to/from Liverpool City Centre as usual.

Also LSP is well served by Merseyrail, Northern Rail, London Midland, TransPennine Express and East Midlands Trains as well as numerous bus services and a dedicated taxi drop-off point so there are plenty of options throughout the day and night for passengers to use to head for their final home destination.

I mean you say about going from A to B via Z living in Woolton I used to have do that all the time for 10 years when I holidayed in Cornwall. We either had to pay £10-£15 for a taxi or get the train to Lime Street and walk to Norton Street. Now we have even further to walk through the main busy city centre part of Liverpool or pay an extra £3-£5 for a taxi to Liverpool One this.

Plus as friend said and I agree between 10pm-1am we would much rather depart/arrive from/at Liverpool South Parkway than Liverpool One. I now realise that us residents in South Liverpool and surrounding area are isolated where National Express is concerned which is very unfair.
