Thankfully the threat of a rail strike has been lifted and the planned enhanced Merseyrail services will operate. It would also appear that both Arriva and Stagecoach are to supplement their services with additional vehicles, partly paid for by Merseytravel. However, at the moment there is no indication as to which bus routes will benefit from added capacity. Will Arriva and Stagecoach have boots on the ground to assess the situation? Personally, I would select those routes where a Merseyrail station is not within easy walking distance. No doubt the recent influx of new Arriva double-deckers will be invaluable over these three days.
