Also between 1100 and 1800 each day, Arriva service 68, towards Bootle, will omit Broad Green Road and will instead divert via Queens Drive / Prescot Road.

Broad Green Road is a bottleneck, but couldn't the 61 be diverted via Edge Lane Drive & St Oswald Street rather than direct via Queens Drive, so it still serves the Old Swan shopping area?

I got a little caught out by this diversion, and also route 204 via Thingwall Road, on Tuesday. Thankfully I still found the right stop at Broadgreen Hospital.
