RE: Merseytravel Changes
A shuttle service would be a good idea - maybe bringing back something similar to the E1 perhaps! |

Liverpool Pier Head and Birkenhead Woodside have the same problem that is that the bus services have moved slowly from the Ferry approaches to the heart of the City / Town . The one saving grace for Mann Island was that the main terminating points like Liverpool One was at saturation point with bus services , hence other terminating spots where needed and Merseytravel would hate services terminating at Queen Square which is already near enough full with buses just passing through out to the sticks . Woodside over the years had been the driver changeover point for the 410 but that happens elsewhere on a sunday now as even that service doesnt run down there . |

RE: Merseytravel Changes
Liverpool side isn't too bad as the Citylink services serve the Pier Head/Mann Island whereas Birkenhead dosen't have that luxury. |

RE: Merseytravel Changes
On the subject of a shuttle service, I would extend the Stena 12 Quays service to Birkenhead bus station... (As a side issue I am quite disappointing that Merseytravel hasn't really done much to advertise long distance shipping links, especially with the SailRail product recently being extended to include the Liverpool/Birkenhead-Belfast services!) Travel is glamorous only in retrospect. |

RE: Merseytravel Changes
Being honest didnt know until recently about the sailrail product for Twelve Quays. |

RE: Merseytravel Changes
The amount of routes that go through the Tunnel to Liverpool has decreased Woodside as an important stop, it's still useful as turnaround & layover point without using Roadside Stops like Borough Road by Birkenhead Central Station, i'd keep it as it is but maybe rebuild it to similar style as Birkenhead Bus Station.
