 Impera Buses have stopped running their bus services

Impera Buses, who ran bus services throughout the Wirral area and some cross-river buses to and from Liverpool, have stopped running their bus services.

Since we were told on 3 October, we've been working with other bus companies to arrange replacement bus services for most of Impera's withdrawn bus services.

(Details updated at 12:00 on Saturday 13 October.) 

Impera ran the following services without any subsidy. Here's what's happening to them:
31 Liverpool - New Brighton - not replaced
31A Liverpool - New Brighton
Part of Route 31A has been replaced by new evening Merseytravel Route 411.
39 West Kirby - New Brighton - not replaced
39C Calday Grammar School - New Brighton
Avon Buses have now confirmed this service will continue running.
98 Liverpool - Town Meadow - not replaced 

 

We've now arranged for all these Merseytravel contracted services to be run by other bus companies.  The routes and the times have all remain unchanged:

107 Town Meadow - New Brighton is now being run by Avon Buses 

 164 Woodside - New Ferry is now being run without subsidy by Avon Buses

 165 Woodside - New Ferry is now being run without subsidy by Avon Buses

203 Woodside - Seacombe is now being run by Avon Buses

207 Woodside - New Brighton is now being run by Avon Buses

208 New Brighton - Town Meadow is now being run by Avon Buses

213 Birkenhead - Arrowe Park Hospital is now being run by Avon Buses

A new Route 411 has been introduced, running between Woodside - New Brighton. This bus replaces part of the withdrawn Route 31A. This evening only service is being run for Merseytravel by Arriva until Saturday evening, then from Sunday 13 October, will be run without subsidy by Avon Buses. Click here to view the timetable.
