Dear Parents/carers
Update to bus service 723
Please see below information from Liverpool City Region relating to bus service 723.
The Liverpool City Region continually carry out reviews of their services that provide additional capacity to the network in the morning and evening peaks. Following this review from Monday 4th November 2024, we are making the following adjustment to the services that serve Maghull High School.
Service 723 will only have one trip in the afternoon and depart at 15:30. The duplicate service at 15:31 will no longer operate.
This is following consultation with the school to review student loadings with observations carried out by the operational team of the Liverpool City Region. In this consultation we agreed there was only a requirement for one bus on the 723 in the afternoons.
As part of the consultation, we discussed the current commercial services on the network students can use. The Maghull Circulars operated, from Liverpool Road, provide links to the Rail Station for wider connectivity to the City Region.
Also from Liverpool Road, Arriva operate the 300 and 310, which runs along similar corridors to the 723 and through Aintree, Old Roan and past the black bull.
These services offer a more frequent alternative of the 723.
Network maps and timetables will be updated on the Merseytravel website in due course and will be shared with the school main office.
Yours sincerely
Mr M Kay
Headteacher
