Service 12 buses reroute via Mab Lane and Water Park Drive due to police activity
Service 12 Diverts Route Due to Police Incident
Service 12 passengers face route changes Monday as transit officials divert buses around an ongoing police incident in North West. The service will run normally from Liverpool to Daysbrook, then detour via Mab Lane, Water Park Drive, and Stockbridge Lane before resuming its regular route from Page Moss back to Liverpool, officials said. Riders should expect delays and altered stop locations along the affected section.
Police Activity Forces Temporary Rerouting
The diversion stems from police activity in the area that required immediate route modifications, according to the transit agency. Officials said the changes ensure passenger safety while allowing service to continue during the incident. Transit agencies typically implement emergency diversions when road closures or public safety situations block regular routes. The agency didn't specify the nature of the police incident or how long the diversion might remain in effect.
Diversion Affects Multiple Stops Along Route
The modified route bypasses the service's normal path between Daysbrook and Page Moss, using three alternate streets to navigate around the affected area. Officials didn't say how many regular stops will be skipped or whether temporary stops will be established along the diversion route. The detour adds distance to the journey, though specific time delays weren't provided. Transit officials said they're monitoring the situation and will restore normal service once police clear the area.
Service Changes Take Effect March 9
The diversion takes effect March 9, 2026, transit officials confirmed. The agency didn't provide a specific time when the diversion began or an estimated duration for the modified routing. Officials said the timeline depends on when police complete their work in the area and reopen affected streets to bus traffic.
Riders Urged to Allow Extra Travel Time
Passengers should plan for longer journey times and check for updates before traveling, officials said. The diversion may affect connections to other routes for riders transferring at stops along the modified section. Moovit provides real-time updates for Service 12 and can help riders navigate the temporary route changes and plan alternative connections during the diversion.
