North West Service 49 Returns to Regular Route
Service 49 bus route resumes normal operations on Liverpool Road after temporary diversion
Service 49 Returns to Normal Route in North West
Riders on Service 49 in North West can use their regular stops again after the bus route returned to its normal path. The route resumed standard operations on January 27 following a temporary diversion around a Liverpool Road closure, transit officials said. The change restores familiar stops and schedules for daily commuters who'd been navigating the alternate route through Arundel Road and Waterloo Road, though officials didn't specify how long the diversion had been in place.
Why the Route Changed
The Service 49 diversion was implemented to work around a closure on Liverpool Road, according to the transit agency. Officials rerouted buses through Arundel Road and Waterloo Road to maintain service continuity while the closure was in effect. Transit agencies typically implement temporary diversions when road closures, construction projects, or infrastructure work blocks regular routes. The agency didn't provide details about what caused the Liverpool Road closure or whether the work that prompted it has been completed.
What's Back to Normal
Service 49 now operates along its standard Liverpool Road alignment with all regular stops restored. Riders who'd adjusted their routines during the diversion can return to their usual boarding locations and expect pre-diversion travel times. The transit agency announced the route restoration through its social media channels on January 27. Officials didn't say whether any schedule adjustments were made alongside the route restoration or if frequencies remain unchanged from before the diversion.
When Service Resumed
The route returned to normal operations on January 27, officials confirmed through social media announcements. The agency didn't specify what time of day service resumed on the regular route or whether the change took effect at the start of service that morning. Transit officials also didn't say how much advance notice riders received about the route restoration.
What Riders Need to Know
Regular Service 49 passengers can resume using their standard stops along Liverpool Road without checking for diversion notices. Officials said the route is operating normally, though they didn't indicate whether any future closures or diversions are planned for the area. Riders can check Moovit for real-time Service 49 arrival information and route details to confirm current operations.
