In Summer 2019 we asked bus users in Liverpool for their feedback on proposals to reroute services in the city centre, in response to Liverpool City Council's £45m City Centre Connectivity Scheme, which aims to make the city a cleaner, greener, more attractive place, making walking and cycling more attraction options. Nearly 2,000 comments were received at the time.
Subsequent changes to infrastructure and road layout resulted in differences to how some buses travelled around the centre from January 2021, with amended boarding and alighting locations. We would now like to reflect on the impact these changes have had to your travel experience across the city centre and invite you as past participant to take part in another brief survey which can be found at;

The survey closes on Sunday 26th June
Hello,
A quick reminder, if you’ve not already taken a look, that plans for changes to a select number of bus routes in Liverpool City Centre are now available to view .
Government guidance is currently to stay at home, but these changes, from 24th January , have been planned for several months and will still come into effect during this period of national restrictions.
Boarding and alighting points for most services will generally focus in or around Queen Square and Liverpool ONE Bus Stations, with a frequent cross-city provision running between both for those who need it. While most people will see no change to their journeys, some passengers will need to board or alight their bus at a different stop.
The majority of services currently operating to Dale Street, Mann Island and James Street will start and finish at Queen Square Bus Station or Sir Thomas Street - however a number of services will continue to travel through to the Commercial District in the morning peak period.
Full details, covering London Road, Brownlow Hill, Renshaw Street and other services are available to view here along with a recently added map tile of the city centre showing the roads where each route will operate along.
The final plans for changes to Liverpool City Centre bus routes are now available, with the majority of bus users seeing no changes in where they get on or off their usual services. The roll-out of these changes to bus services was delayed due to Covid-19 but they are now scheduled to come into effect from late January 2021.
A small number of services will no longer operate as changes in road layout which come as part of the City Centre Connectivity Scheme mean it will not possible for those services to follow their previous routes.

Hello
New details on the next phase of Liverpool City Council’s city centre connectivity scheme have been announced, with the beginning of some of the works being pushed back to spring 2020, more information on updates the scheme are available here .
Due to the timings of these works bus users are being advised that changes to routes through Liverpool city centre will now come into effect later next year, rather than in January as originally planned. Once agreed, the revised date for route changes will be made available.
As a result of further traffic modelling and surveys, the city council has also agreed in principle with the city’s Bus Alliance that the 82 bus service from South Liverpool will be able to continue to use Hanover Street. This decision is subject to the introduction of new bus priority measures such as bus gate or dedicated bus lane, which is currently being mapped out.
More information will be made available to bus users once details have been finalised.
Thank you all who have viewed and commented on the bus rerouting proposals for Liverpool City Centre so far.
We have looked to address some of the common concerns being raised in relation to the overall plans. You can see the Frequently Asked Questions here.
Don't forget the opportunity to comment deadline is Friday 2 August . If there are bus users you know who may not be aware of the proposals it's easy to share the information through social media or email. You can do this at the click of a button here.
