What is Merseytravel's role?
Merseytravel is the executive body responsible for coordinating public transport in the Liverpool City Region, including the Mersey Tunnels. Their duties involve planning routes, managing services, and ensuring smooth operations. When the Queensway Tunnel closed today, Merseytravel quickly re-routed bus services via the Kingsway Tunnel, demonstrating their crucial role in keeping the region moving and minimising disruption.
