Merseytravel Joblink
Hi All, While this isn't all that old, the many of the initial Joblink services that started in 2003 no longer run so I thought it'd be interesting to try to get some detail on them. I can't find my old timetable from the time sadly (If I do I'll scan it in) but I've gleaned this bits from the VOSA website! (I've posted this list incomplete, I'm still adding more as I go!) HTL Buses 801 Liverpool, Paradise Street Bus Station - Alder Hey Hospital 802 Brunswick Station - Alder Hey Hospital 817 Broadway - Knowsley Ind Estate 821 Stockbridge Village - Prescot, Steley Way 830 Mann Island - PSBS (via Aintree) (Still operated by Cumfybus) 831 Mann Island - PSBS (via Aintree) (Still operated by Cumfybus) 841 Newton Station - Newton Station (via Earlestown) 837 Croxteth - Seaforth 846 Wavertree - Netherton (via Walton) 868 Toxteth - Toxteth (via Netherton) 870 Old Swan, Prescot Road - Huyton Industrial Estate (Still operated by Ace Travel/Halton Transport) 871 Broadgreen Hospital - Edge Hill Church 883 Speke - Prescot (Still operates between Speke - Huyton by HTL) 890 Huyton Bus Station - Kirkby Admin Gate 897 Huyton - Kirkby (Still Operated by HTL) 898 Page Moss - Kirkby Admin Gate (Still Operated by HTL) 899 Page Moss - Terminus Road (Still Operated by HTL) Cumfybus North Liverpool Community Transport (North Liverpool Community Wheels) 832 Runcorn - Runcorn (via Widnes, Liverpool Airport & Garston Station) 883 Huyton Industrial Estate - Liverpool Airport (Still operates between Speke - Huyton by HTL) 884 Halewood, Ravenscourt - Halewood, Ravenscourt (via Ford Factory, Airport & Garston) 885 Halewood, Ravenscourt - Halewood, Ravenscourt (via Ford Factory, Airport & Garston) North Liverpool Community Transport's services were all operated using two Optare Aleros, YN03 UYG/H in Merseytravel Joblink livery. Once these services ended the two Aleros ended up at Cumfybus! Raddoneur buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

RE: Merseytravel Joblink
It was funded by a grant from the DTLR Urban Bus Challenge Initiative to start all these services up, at least some survive though, so it wasn't an entirely wasted effort! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

RE: Merseytravel Joblink
As an aside, while these aren't all Joblink services, some were 'Industrial Services' this is a list of all 8xx routes operated, according to the Merseytravel site archive from February 2004. I'll update my original Joblink post shortly with Raddonuer and Cumfybus details but this overall list is quite useful too! 800 SPEKE - SEAFORTH 801 SPRINGWOOD - LIVERPOOL/ROYAL HOSPITAL 807 BROMBOROUGH/ASDA - MORETON CROSS 810 NEW BRIGHTON/KINGS PARADE - BIRKENHEAD/WOODSIDE 811 BROUGHTON SHOPPING CENTRE - LEASOWE, ROSS AVENUE 814 CITY CENTRE JAMES STREET - KIRKBY ADMIN 817 KNOWSLEY INDUSTRIAL EST - TOWNSEND AVE, BROADWAY 817 DEESIDE - ARROWE PARK HOSPITAL 821 WHISTON HOSPITAL - PAGE MOSS TERMINUS 821 WHISTON HOSPITAL - PAGE MOSS 830 LIVERPOOL MANN ISLAND - LIVERPOOL/PARADISE STREET 831 LIVERPOOL/PARADISE STREET - LIVERPOOL MANN ISLAND 832 GARSTON - BROOKVALE 832 RUNCORN/BROOKVALE - GARSTON STATION 834 LEA GREEN STATION - NEWTON STATION 835 NORTHWOOD/SIMONSWOOD LANE - SEAFORTH/RIMROSE RD 837 SEAFORTH - CROXTETH 838 HUNTS CROSS HOTEL/HILLFOOT AVE-SEAFORTH/RIMROSE RD 839 LONGVIEW - SEAFORTH 841 LEA GREEN/TRAIN STATION - NEWTON-LE-WILLOWS 847 CROXTETH/WILLOW WAY - EDGE LANE/SOUTHBANK ROAD 852 PENNY LANE/SMITHDOWN PLACE - OLD ROAN STATION 852 COUNTY ROAD/SPELLOW LANE-QUEEN SQUARE BUS STATION 853 WOODSIDE BUS STATION - EASTHAM FERRY 854 CLAUGHTON VILLAGE/UPTON ROAD - BROMBOROUGH 860 ALLERTON - LIVERPOOL/CITY CENTRE 863 KIRKBY CIVIC CENTRE - SPEKE/JAGUAR FACTORY 864 WAVERTREE TECHNOLOGY PARK - KIRKBY/CIVIC CENTRE 870 OLD SWAN/DERBY LANE - HUYTON INDUSTRIAL ESTATE 870 OLD SWAN BROADGREEN RD - HUYTON INDUSTRIAL ESTATE 874 TWELVE QUAYS TERMINAL - UPTON STATION 877 PARADISE ST BUS STN - JAGUAR FACTORY 881 BOOTLE STRAND BUS STN - SPEKE JAGUAR FACTORY 882 LIVERPOOL/PARADISE ST BUS STATION - JAGUAR FACTORY 883 PRESCOT/BRIDGE ROAD - SPEKE/EASTERN AVENUE 884 HALEWOOD - JOHN LENNON AIRPORT - HALEWOOD 885 HALEWOOD - JOHN LENNON AIRPORT - HALEWOOD 890 KIRKBY ADMIN GATE - HUYTON BUS STN 892 LIVERPOOL PARADISE STREET - KIRKBY ADMIN GATE 892 BOOTLE BUS STN - KIRKBY ADMIN GATE 897 KIRKBY ADMIN - OLD SWAN 898 PAGE MOSS - KIRKBY ADMIN GATE 899 KIRKBY ADMIN-PENNY LANE buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

RE: Merseytravel Joblink
On a similar note Red Rider operated a Joblink-type service for a while between New Brighton and some industrial park on Deeside. I think it was three round trips a day to coincide with 6-2/2-10 shift changing times, the first journey leaving New Brighton at about 5am. They ran it with a Dart SLF demonstrator for a while. |

RE: Merseytravel Joblink
That was route 850 I think, going back in the archives there is a pic of the Dart SLF/Caetano Nimbus demo REL 905 in Red Rider depot with the screen set for the route! http://dartslf.com/archives/images/20002...dRider.jpg Not a good pic at all but at least it shows the bus with the screen set correctly! Pic was taken in early December 2000 I think as the bus was eventually re-registered with a W reg plate. buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

RE: Merseytravel Joblink
Off topic I know, sorry! But what happened to that bus? Also back on topic, I have a timetable somewhere for the 834/841 (Lea Green-Newton), does anyone know when these two finished? |
