Free bus travel Lancashire/Merseyside/Cheshire

epm-84

Two schemes running this week like the Arriva one already posted but they don't require you to have a smart phone.

Some of the Merseytravel routes listed are actually operated by Arriva North West. The 'C services' operate in Liverpool city centre so useful for visitors to Liverpool.

Thanks for this. I use the City Circulars often to get into town so at least I'm sorted for the week! Cheers!
