Department for Transport written question – answered at on 3 July 2018.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to improve travelling times between Wirral and Manchester.
As part of the recent timetable introduction the train operators have introduced a number of train service changes to improve journey times between Liverpool and Manchester such as Transpennine Express (TPE) running two ‘fast’ services per hour from Liverpool Lime Street – Manchester Victoria providing a journey time of 35 mins rather than the 52 mins of the previous route.
Rail services between the Wirral area and Liverpool are a matter for MerseyTravel as the local authority transport body responsible for MerseyRail.
In regards to bus times from these locations the department doesn’t have any specific data for services running between Wirral and Manchester.
