Several bus routes have been slightly changed this evening due to reports of anti-social behaviour.
As Merseyside Police introduce dispersal zones and increase police presence across Merseyside, problems have been reported on the bus networks. Arriva North West confirmed that due to issues with anti-social behaviour, some services may be changed slightly.
Some roads will now be omitted on services such as the 144 near the Pendle Estate and 82 near Speke. The ECHO previously reported on the restriction of the 413, 414 and 423 services from stopping on the Leasowe estate after 6pm.

Arriva is the only travel provider that visits the estate after 6pm, with people only being able to us a train, taxi or car after 6pm. For people living in Leasowe it is an unfortunately familiar move by the company, who have had trouble with the estate in the past.
But on Mischief Night, October 30, other bus routes across Merseyside are being impacted by reports of anti-social behaviour. Posting on social media, Arriva North West confirmed the following changes this evening:
- 81 and 82 Services are operating via Ford Rd to Morrisons omitting the Speke estate
-
Services 82 & 82A are omitting Garston Village
- Service 89 is currently operating via Western Avenue in both directions omitting the Speke estate
- Service 82A is currently operating via Hale Rd omitting the Speke estate
- 144 Services are currently omitting the Pendle Estate and Ford Lane
- Service 300 & 310 To Skelmersdale and Southport is omitting Liverpool Rd. Vehicles are diverted via A59 and Damfield Lane
- The 423 service has been diverted via Leasowe Road, avoiding the area. 423 will pick up it's normal route from Moreton Cross. This will be for the remainder of the evening.
