Power failure, at one of the the control centres in the City Centre, meant all the traffic lights were out, thus causing chaos.

Arriva have recently started amending the destinations in Liverpool to pretty much match the Stagecoach type, much clearer with via points

The 409 doesn’t do the same. It returns to Birkenhead direct to Woodside via Canning St and returns to NB via a one way loop around town. The 411 will cover the old reverse section of the 408 via Watson St, Exmouth St into town which the 409 only covers in one direction outbound. Another long standing bus route changed and another section of route (Dock Rd) that loses a bus altogether.

That isn't what the map on the site shows. If the map is wrong, I apologize. According to all the maps, the 408 and 409 both do the same one way loop. Seacombe > Woodside > Birkenhead Bus STN > Seacombe. No map anywhere shows it doing the opposite.

The 411 is doing that same loop according to the timetables leaflet.
