@Merseytravel the diversion to the 82a service doesn't seem to show on your website.

[Arriva North West @arrivanorthwest]

Due to a temporary Lights Failure at the junction of Duke St & Berry St, services 80,80A & 82A will operate via St James St and Park Lane in both directions until further notice. Please allow extra time for your journey

[James Utley @Diffractionist]

@arrivanorthwest FYI, this change doesn't seem to show on your website or merseytravel. This is really poor.
