*Stagecoach are hopeful of running the service on Saturday 28 February but at the time

of compiling this list, no confirmation had been received.

The following services, operated commercially by ACE Travel will no longer operate from Saturday 28 February.

Route Nos. to/from

2A/2E Pier Head – Liverpool FC (matchdays only)

25 Liverpool City Centre Explorer

36 Liverpool ONE – Belle Vale

38 Liverpool ONE – Halewood

47A Bootle – Southport

50 Canada Boulevard – Waterloo Interchange

61 Broadway – Bootle

I would add to the commercial list the single 320 journey ACE do between St Helens and Ashton.

I wonder if it's Stagecoach Wigan who have got the 157 - it would definitely make sense as I said in an earlier post.
