Have a look at our Cross-River service connecting Liverpool to Wirral!

We have bought 33 new Volvo hybrid buses, complete with free WiFi and leather seats, in a £9m investment scheme following a successful bid to the government’s Green Bus Fund.

The buses will be used on Arriva's cross-river services – 407, 432, 433, 437, 464 and 472 – which run between Liverpool and the Wirral through the Mersey Tunnel.

Howard Farrall, Arriva area managing director, said: “Arriva Merseyside is committed to delivering state-of-the-art buses for our customers, which not only make bus travel more attractive but which also make a real difference to local air quality. Cleaner fuelled vehicles are the future of sustainable transport and we are delighted to be introducing the hybrid buses to our fleet.”

The low carbon emission buses are due to hit the roads on Sunday, March 24.
