Welcome to your new bus timetable
We (Merseytravel) have produced this new bus timetable as your bus service has recently changed. We do
not run bus services - they are run by private bus companies. However, we pay towards essential bus
services which the bus companies do not run. In timetables, these services are called Merseytravel Bus
Services and are shown by the symbol M .
How to use this timetable
The timetable is split into routes and days of the week (see 1 below). Please make sure you are looking
at the timetable for the right direction you want to travel in. The travel direction is shown across the top of
the page.
On the left side of the page there is a list of the some of the key places along the route (see 2 below).
The time the bus leaves each of these ‘timing points’ is shown in columns running from left to right across
the page (see 3 below). Each column of times is a separate bus journey. Read the column from top to
bottom.
First, look for the bus stop nearest where you want to get the bus from. Then, look at the times shown on
the same line to find the time nearest when you want to get the bus. Read down the list of times until you
get to the time opposite a place near to where you want to get off the bus. This time is your arrival time.
We can’t show times for every bus stop, or the timetable would be too big to print in a booklet. Please
remember to look for any codes at the top of the page or alongside each column which may change your
journey (see 4 below). You can find an explanation of these codes in the ‘Codes’ box at the bottom of
the timetable.
In some timetable booklets, we show some of the bus stops in italics (see 5 below). This means we have
given a rough time for that stop because the bus company has not given us an exact time.
Here is an example of a timetable.

and evening times appear in the 24-hour clock.
