Where these services differ from previous ones is that they will be stopping services in both directions AND pre-paid tickets will be accepted. Surely these will be well used and be a template for night services on all major routes (10, 12/13, 14, 20, 52, 53, 75, 79, 82, 432, 437) on Merseyside in the near future.

Accepting pre-paid tickets and running in both directions is the absolute logical thing to do. I am glad that both Arriva and Stagecoach are trying this out for a sensible period of time, and made up that the Echo are backing it.

Fingers crossed that people see the benefit and start to use them, I know I certainly will be.
