I came across this interesting document for Wirral cross boundary fare arrangements post 25th October.


Interesting that Merseytravel tickets are available all the way to Broughton but not on two school services, even within the LCR area (I wonder whether any school services carry "normal" people?)

As has been stated already, Merseytravel tickets are also shown as valid extended from the LCR boundary to Neston/Ness Gardens (owned by Liverpool University as it happens) but there are no boundary extensions on the two Chester services.

The boundary extension to Chester not being included on Merseytravel tickets is because both routes are not operated by Metro.

I always assumed the school runs were kids only, even though they fill some useful gaps

Unless the service has been contracted directly by a school to a bus operator, all Merseytravel-funded school bus services are able to be used by the public.
