National Express Coach Station in Liverpool to close

RE: National Express Coach Station in Liverpool to close
I actually work for a operator which has National Express operations and no one can actually see how this is going to work. At one point u can have 5 coaches on stand at any one time. No one even knows what route any coach will be given. All I know is that the. 060 Liverpool-Leeds via Manchester shuttle will have a extra stop somewhere in the University area of town

Im guessing the extra stop will be at the top of brownlow hill where the university district is.

My understanding is that the coaches have been allocated stands One and Two at L1.

We don't know. Usually drivers are the last to know. Great forward planning. But area around Brownlow Hill or Mount Pleasant area. As soon as I know any info on routing stops etc will post.

The land is going to be used for Student Homes as well

National Express website says that the station will close on 14 January 2016 (a Thursday) rather than 16 January (Saturday). If that is correct, then it does seem odd for its last day to be a Thursday rather than a Saturday.

I cant see anything on that link that says the Coach Station is closing, Could you tell me where abouts to look?

My main worry is i normally buy tickets online and go down to the Coach Station and collect from one of them Ticket things in the wall, I wonder once the Coach Station is gone how am i going to do this

Simple, go into find more coach stations, pick Liverpool and it mentions that Norton Street is closing. As for your tickets, well no idea.

No need worry about your tickets. If you have a mobile phone and you can book your tickets on-line, just select the option send ticket to phone. Then when you board your coach just show the ticket on the message Nat ex sent you. Easy as that.
