Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
Routes 118, 119, 218, 418 and 419 are affected.


Bedford Drive will be closed, between Mount Road and Bebington Road, fromn Monday 15 February 2016 for approximately 5 days.

Bus diversions are as follows:
Route 118 will travel as normal from New Brighton to Storeton Road, then via Mount Road, Bebington Road, Bedford Avenue, then as normal route to Mill Park (omitting Bedford Drive). This service will return via the reverse of this route.

Route 119 will travel as normal from New Brighton to Storeton Road, then via Mount Road, Bebington Road, Bedford Avenue, then as normal route to Mill Park (omitting Bedford Drive). This service will return via the reverse of this route.

Route 218 will travel as normal from Woodside to Storeton Road, then via Mount Road, Bebington Road, Bedford Avenue, then as normal route to Mill Park (omitting Bedford Drive). This service will return via the reverse of this route.

Route 418 will travel as normal from Woodside to Storeton Road, then via Mount Road, Bebington Road, Bedford Avenue, then as normal route to Mill Park (omitting Bedford Drive). This service will return via the reverse of this route.

Route 419 will travel as normal from Woodside to Storeton Road, then via Mount Road, Bebington Road, Bedford Avenue, then as normal route to Mill Park (omitting Bedford Drive). This service will return via the reverse of this route.

I do wonder whether some drivers travelling from Mill Park to Woodside take the easy route round from Bebington Road into Mount Road via a full circuit of the roundabout as there is usually cars very close to the exit off the roundabout making it awkward. The turn will have been risk assessed I should hope by Laird Street union reps.
