Special timetables on Boxing Day and New Years Day on services 10A, 10B, 12, 14, 15, 18, 26, 27, 31, 32, 34, 35, 43, 44, 46, 47, 49, 52A, 53, 55, 75, 79, 81, 82, 86/86A, 89, 320, 410, 423, 432, 437, 464, 471/472, 500 and PR1 in Merseyside and on Boxing Day only on services 18A, 245, 247 and 320 in Greater Manchester.
Arrangements for the 471/472 are interesting, with most -- but not all -- journeys being 471 in one direction but 472 in the other.
Also nice how they have sometimes left the 'bus number' on so we can get an insight into logistical arrangements

On a better note i notice some North Liverpool routes have earlier Buses this year as well!
Arriva have now confirmed the 13 Timetable is missing from the list

You will find that the services in the opposite direction on the same route will be provided by Stagecoach Merseyside as part of the QBP

As I posted earlier, now that Green Lane has a large numbers of new deckers since last year this should help with capacity issues. Also, it is nice to see that many routes have an earlier start. No doubt the people who have to work on Boxing Day will benefit from this. The very early starts of the 500 is interesting. Is this the same as last year?

The 500 Always runs to its normal Timetable, Even when it used to run late

Hmm, my thinking can be somewhat Manchester centric at times, I can assure you that although Metrolink *will* also be running, Northern Rail, Transpennine, East Midlands, Arriva Trains Wales, Cross Country and Virgin won't!

These Christmas day services are these drivers that have volunteered for these services .

They are asking for volunteers at the moment, with the exception of 10X (which is a 10A really) and 21X (mix of 20 and 21 I think) they aren't usual Stagecoach routes so they'll need people who know the routes or who are willing to learn in time - my name is in the hat anyway!
