• A new express bus service between New Brighton and Liverpool—via the second Mersey Tunnel which opens later this month—foreshadows the threatened closure of the Mersey ferry link between the two areas.
The service starts on June 28. The "Cross Mersey Express" will operate like the Liverpool Rapidride routes, picking up in the areas of Wallasey furthest from the ferries and railways stations and running non-stop into the centre of Liverpool. The journey from New Brighton will take 45 minutes and from Liscard 30 minutes.
Mr Albert Burrows, director general of Merseyside PTE, said the new service will be slightly more expensive than the rail service between New Brighton and Liverpool, because of the 50p tunnel toll on each bus. The buses will be in the blue and cream livery of the Wirral division of the MPTE.
