Changes to Garston Circulars, routes 166, 188, 266 & 288

From Monday 2nd February 2015 there will be changes to how the Monday to Friday daytime Garston Circular services, routes 166, 188, 266 & 288 operate.

The routes are split into separate smaller sections, so buses no longer operate as complete circulars.

Buses either run as a Belle Vale to Halewood service or a Halewood to Belle Vale service – you can’t make a through journey via Halewood. Service are also rerouted so only peak time buses now serve Okell Drive; no buses serve Long Lane, Greenhill Road, Heath Road or the top part of Springwood Avenue; and no Monday to Friday buses now serve Springwood Cemetery. The times are changed.

(Buses run for Merseytravel during the evenings and weekends are unchanged.)

Please see the timetable (link below) for more details.
