Longest route in/through Merseyside?
Any ideas what the longest in terms of distance (local stopping) bus service within Merseyside, (or calls through Merseyside)? My contender is the Cumfybus 811, dep 11:52 SSuX Leasowe - Broughton arr 13:44. Probably the best pence per mile ratio too, just £1.10. Probably would have said the X2 Liverpool-Preston before the route got split to Southport, at least, on paper. |

That is the longest I can find too - I was thinking route 1 (Liverpool - Chester) but that is slightly shorter! The shortest route I can find is 245 (Huyton Circular via Salerno Drive) 8 mins to make the lap from Huyton Bus Station and back! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice. I'll be right beside you dear. |

The longest route I can think of is the X2/2X - although there is a change of number in Southport, it is a through journey and was originally a through X2 before the split. |

The 817 Arrowe Park - Broughton is slightly longer than the 811, at over 2 hours, ie depart 0411 arrive 0614. |

Natural question to the one asked then ,if the 817 is the longest in and through Merseyside , what is the longest route that stays fully within Merseyside ? |

The 89 from St Helens to JLA is approx 16.5 miles. |

Once the 89 gets towards Prescot it seems to go round the houses before eventually reaching St Helens |
