I just want the 195X on Christmas Day again please!

On a serious note, Stagecoach are apparently running the usual Christmas Day routes apparently, once this is confirmed I'll post what I can!

Arriva have put details out for their services over the Christmas Period online, On Boxing Day i see the stupid 10A Timetable remains, An hour full route is impossible, an hour gap between the last 2 10As leaves to people getting left behind and the last 10A was half an hour late last year with the Timetable being a peter pan job...

That could just be Arriva 10A timetable and not including any of Stagecoach's times

Times for North Lancashire and Cumbria https://www.stagecoachbus.com/promos-and...r-services
Edit (Boxing Day only North Lancashire and Cumbria)

It is just the Arriva 10A times hence my post pointing this out

Sam rubbish from Arriva as per previous years. It will be interesting to see if there will be any Northern trains on Boxing Day given the fact it's now into a new franchise. If there is a train service, quite a few stations won't have a connecting bus service.

I dont know about the 82 but Blacon and Saughall all finish around 7pm with Stagecoach only after that.

Nope,no Northern trains on Christmas or Boxing Day.
Merseyrail are running a limited stop 30min Boxing Day service again from approx 9am to 6pm

So basically it's the usual limited bus service on Boxing Day when most shops are open but a full rail service New Years Day when everywhere's shut. Complete madness yet again.
