Baltic Triangle gets a bus stop

Ding ding! Etc. A new CityLink circular route passes through the Triangle, it's been announced. Hop on inside for all the details.

It’s seemed like an age, but after months, years and centuries of moaning, the city finally has a bus stop in the Baltic Triangle.

Merseytravel has popped in place a shiny new stop, right next to the skatepark on Jamaica Street (just up from Unit 51, near Camp and Furnace).

The new CityLink service connects up the city centre in a way that reflects how the city’s shaped now, which includes the rather buzzing Baltic. And, being a circular route, it means we can get on at any point on its journey around town and not have to worry about being taken to god-knows-where (ie St Helens). It sticks primarily to key streets and points: the Pier Head, Liverpool ONE, Hope Street, Mount Pleasant are all included.

Running every 12 minutes - roughly 8am til 8pm - it’s definitely not the thing to rely on if you’re having a late night out at that side of town. But for daytime and early evening mooching, it’s a nice (and fairly speedy it seems, taking around half an hour to do the full circular) new addition. We’re looking forward to seeing how this one goes.

About time! Now for St James to be re-opened.

I have waited for that to happen since long before the film maker man and his wife gave a talk about their plan to do just that at LJMU over a decade ago.

Liverpool should invest more in extending it’s underground. It’s one of our greatest transport assets, far more so than any HS2 link.

This is our year(ish) though, have faith.

Sounds like a booze cruise bus!
