Absolute chronic reliability on the 79s today, FIVE roadworks have started this week along the route, with 3 sets of temporary traffic lights inlcuding four way ones at Belle Vale, and at Matalan, and the bus lane suspended inbound along Picton Road!!!
Buses were in grousp of 4/5 all day, even now, still are coming out of town, the Arriva inspector in Queen Square was telling some drivers to go out of service until they got past Edge Hill/Matalan, whilst inbound every other 79D was being turned short at Queen Square and passengers transferred to the next one (which was behind anyway for most of the day!). It took me 1hour10 minutes to get from liverpool One to Halewood (should take 53 minutes!!) and that was at 2pm, so god help them during peak hours!

Also to add that ravenscourt bus station in halewood is currently closed for maintenance work so no buses are able to go in there and from tomorrow mackets lane will be closed for 5 days for resurfacing works they had temporary lights on mackets yesterday while they took the speed humps out so from tomorrow the 75 and 78 are diverted from higher road via hillfoot avenue and speke road into woolton village so this will probably lead to disruption for these services too its like roadworks city!
