The 79/79C/79D will be a combined 5 minute frequency with 79C terminating at Widnes

The 82A will be every 20 mins but only to Widnes to improve reliability

My apologies the 500 will still run to Runcorn

Does anyone know if the 500 will still be limited stop Airport-City Centre?

Unlikely as there is no other route down the waterfront route or alternate route to get from Widnes/Airport to Gasrton/Aigburth Road

Saturdays - every 7/8 mins combined all as 79 serving Halewood except ev 30 mins 79C/inbound still alternate as 79/79D with the 79Cs as 79D from Widnes.

They're being repainted into the new standard livery. One (4444) has been done so far

I guessed that was the case

The thing I find odd about the new 79C is how the frequency is every 30 minutes on Saturdays but every 20 minutes on Sundays (in the daytime).
