Service 60 Resumes Normal Route After Closure

Service 60 returned to its regular route Thursday after Derby Lane reopened following a police incident. The bus line resumed normal operations serving Derby Lane in the North West region, transit officials said. The temporary diversion affected riders traveling in both directions earlier in the day.

Diversion Details

The service had been temporarily rerouted due to a police incident that closed Derby Lane earlier on March 13. Passengers traveling towards Aigburth were diverted via Queens Drive, Mill Bank, Green Lane, and Old Swan, according to the transit agency. Those heading towards Bootle took an alternative route through Old Swan, Green Lane, Muirhead Avenue, and Queens Drive. Officials didn't specify what time the incident occurred or how long the diversion lasted.

Normal Operations Restored

With the road cleared and the incident resolved, Service 60 now operates on its standard route with regular stops and schedules, transit officials confirmed. Passengers can expect their usual journey times to resume. The agency didn't provide details about whether any delays remain in the system or how many riders were affected by the diversion. Officials said normal service has been fully restored for all passengers on the route.

Road Reopening Timeline

Derby Lane reopened Thursday after police cleared the scene, allowing Service 60 to return to its normal route. Officials didn't say what caused the initial closure or provide specific times for when the road was blocked and subsequently reopened. The transit agency said it coordinated with local authorities to resume regular service as soon as the road became accessible.

Rider Information

Passengers using Service 60 can now travel on the line's regular route with standard stops and schedules restored. The transit agency said it'll continue monitoring the route for any additional disruptions.
