The following questions were submitted by Mr Wennell and Mr Magill:

Mr Wennell's questions -

Question 1:
Back in 2018 once the upgrade work to Lime Street was completed we would be having 3 new train routes. But it's now January 2019 and still no new routes have materialised. When are we going to see the 3 new routes from Liverpool Lime Street commence?

Question 2:
We have various express bus routes running from Liverpool X1, X2, X3, X5 & X8. Which are all good bus routes to get to places quicker. But only the X2 & X8 run 7 days a week. The others only run Monday to Saturday. So why are places like Kirkby, Widnes and Runcorn left with the slower bus routes on a Sunday?
