This info came from Stagecoach Merseyside Christmas update

Limited Sunday service eg less frequent service and not many routes compared to a normal Sunday
Eg reduced frequency on 1's compared to a normal Sunday
No 38A where there would be on a Sunday
41A reduced service and 471/2 reduced compared to normal

And they finish early but 9pm

Weirdest one I always found is routes 194 and 195 - They run Christmas Day but don't run Boxing Day!

Yeah for the Hospital at Arrowe Park , then the powers that be think we dont need hospitals on boxing day.

It's the same with the 194/5 which serve both Whiston & St Helens Hospitals.

Bank Holidays should be Sunday service what ever day it is, there would be the demand for it if people knew it was operating,by the sounds of it today proves it.

Luckily the 352 Sunday Evening timetable is as good as the Evening timetable no loss in service for me Smile

I've seen quite a fair few people waiting for the 320, suprised theres no double decker for the numbers

Both the 10A and 320 are heavily used on boxing day as the reason deckers are not used on the 320 yet are due to not being tested by the health and saftey team but hopefully the deckers will be tested on routes after the new year.
