Bus riders heading to Liverpool on routes 12 and 13 will take a different path through West Derby Village while roadworks continue at the Town Row and Mill Lane junction.

Junction Work Prompts Service Changes

The roadworks at the Town Row and Mill Lane intersection required transit planners to establish an alternate route for the affected services. Officials said the diversion is necessary to keep buses moving safely while construction crews complete their work at the junction. Transit agencies typically reroute buses around roadworks to maintain service continuity while avoiding construction zones. The specific nature and duration of the roadworks weren't detailed in available information.

Buses Take Barnfield Drive Detour

Routes 12 and 13 traveling toward Liverpool will divert via Barnfield Drive and Mill Lane instead of their usual path through the Town Row junction. The alternate route takes buses around the construction area while maintaining service to West Derby Village. Officials didn't specify how much additional travel time the diversion might add to journeys. The transport operator said passengers using these services should expect some changes to their usual journey, though specific details about affected stops or schedule adjustments weren't provided.

The transport operator described the route change as temporary but didn't provide a specific timeline for restoration of normal service. Passengers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys during this period.
