500 timetable:

Also, I notice the busways are going down to every 12 giving 4 mins layover on every trip.

The busway circles currently terminate and double back at Shopping City, alternating between trips on 1 and 2.
Will this still be the case? If they revert to going round in the same direction all the time that four minute layover could be problematic, especially on the North side.

Has anyone noticed that the Stagecoach X5 undercuts the 500 by 30 minutes between Widnes and Liverpool 1?
It sets off the same way via Chesnut Lodge and Hale Road but goes straight down to Route 7, non-stop to Evans Medical and limited stop from the old airport to Liverpool. 45 minutes from Green Oaks, beating the 14 and 79C by 15 minutes too.

Arriva on their site state how they are proud of their new link from Halton to South Parkway... given the time they are going to take getting there you might as well use one of the three railway stations in Halton which are under 10 minutes away!
