From April 13^th, public transport around Liverpool is undergoing several changes, with both timing adjustments and more substantive modifications affecting various bus routes across the region. This is in addition to the Easter service changes on Good Friday and Easter Monday (18th and 21st April), which are public holidays. On those days, Sunday service schedules will be implemented across the entire network.

Apparent from route 211, which introduces an entirely new service replacing the previous Arriva ‘Click’ operation around Speke, most are timing changes. Routes 3 and 3A get timing point changes: Camberley Drive is removed while Mackets Lane, Roskell Road is added as a timing point on journeys towards Huyton. Otherwise, Halewood Caravan Park is re-instated in the timetable for these services.

Moving to the timing changes, these affect service 3a in addition to the other changes. Other affected routes include 10, 10A, 12, 13 and 204. Service 15, connecting Liverpool and Huyton, has seen timing changes specifically affecting weekend schedules and certain weekday evening journeys. Route 320 has undergone a slight retiming, with the Monday to Friday service that previously departed at 14:33 now leaving five minutes later at 14:38, along with further timing modifications along the journey. Specific weekday journeys on route 217, which runs from Bootle through Kirkby Bus Station to Huyton or Halewood, have been retimed. These include the 07:45 service towards Kirkby and several afternoon trips.
