HelloThank you for taking the time to complete the ‘Key Worker Travel’ consultation. Your input is greatly appreciated and the information is helping us in our plans to increase public transport provision as people start to return to work in response to the government’s recent announcement. Some changes were introduced on 14 May 2020. In summary: Mersey Ferries: Peak time commuter services have resumed; Mersey Tunnels: Tunnel Tolls have been reinstated. The temporary relaxation of byelaws allowing cyclists to use the Queensway Tunnel has been removed for safety reasons; Bus: The temporary lifting of 9.30am concessionary travel restrictions has been removed to ease demand during peak times. From Monday 18 May 2020 Merseyrail will be increasing services. Please visit <a href="http://www.merseyrail.org/">www.merseyrail.org</a> for full details. Please keep checking regularly for information about services and timetables. For all the latest news visit <a href="http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/">www.merseytravel.gov.uk</a> or check with individual bus and rail operators.
