Far more modern, nice design. Although as they’re less detailed it helps disguise the sparse network that now exists.
Quite surprised it has a map of Neston.

I am unsure on it. I don't hate it but perhaps it's just that I don't like change with some of these things.
On the Wirral map, I will say that there is a lack of consistency. 472 to Barnston shows up with a 'Mon-Fri peak only' but the 811 isn't included which is Mon-Fri Workers bus. Also unsure why they have uploaded this map now when in 2 weeks, the map will change again with the extension of the 41/42. The lack of and inconsistency of 'circular' arrows is rather annoying me too for some reason. Very pleased to see Neston on the map, though if you're going to include an area like Neston and Willaston, the least they could do is show the buses there properly. Kind of do it all or nothing at all. 272 not showing and 22 diversion via Willaston.
The Liverpool map is already wrong. I know it is from Sept 2021 but surely someone must have thought, this shouldnt go up given the amount of changes which have happened and about to happen (X1 withdrawn, 217/227 rerouting, X3 cancelled etc). Also, I am interested as to how the 89 and 217 are not regarded as core routes but the 204 is?
Overall feedback on the two, I think a 'Merseytravel Ticket Boundary' would go down well here as people could be forgiven for thinking MTravel tickets are valid to Neston, Hough Green and Ormskirk.
I think if they are going to include these outer areas as well, there needs to be an all or nothing approach. Either show all routes in these areas or show none. Neston 272 (and 22 diversion into Willaston), Ormskirk various routes etc.
Lack of consistency on circulars too is a shame. That's one thing which I think should be in place.
I do like the Colour coding is though as it helps to distinguish routes. Some additional colours would go down well though as some corridors have a lot of routes under one colour.
Good effort though and has good potential.

The route of the 310 in the eastern part of Maghull is wrong, as it only runs that way on a couple of journeys in the morning and afternoon to avoid the congestion by Northway Primary School. Its normal route is via Deyes Lane, Moss Lane, Dodds Lane and vice versa.

If those maps are brand new I'm surprised they've shown the X3 and 14A routes as the X3 gets withdrawn in 2 weeks and 14A curtailed to Kirkby Civic Centre as the 217 will go to Tower Hill in its place.
X1 is still shown on the map too!

Not sure on them, the route list & frequencies is no longer there which is annoying, also on the Liverpool map, the big Liverpool City Centre & approach routes isn't on, as is Birkenhead & Wallasey on the Wirral map
Here's an example what i mean from the 2020 Wirral map

Noticed on the Liverpool map that the 36,133 and Maghull Circular routes are not shown.

The 63 route is also missing! Also the 102 isn’t showing either!
Considering both terminate at Aintree Hospital!

Ah righty, I'll let them off then - my bad!
