Bus operators Stagecoach have announced the trial of a new 918 bus service to Everton Stadium at Bramley Moore from Kirkby Town Centre. This new route will connect to the stadium via Croxteth, Norris Green, Queens Drive, and Spellow Lane/County Road.
In addition to the 918, Stagecoach will continue operating its established 919 service from Liverpool City Centre and the 939 service from Bootle Bus Station.
The 919 and 939 will continue running from two hours before kick-off, while the new 918 will operate to a dedicated timetable starting three hours before kick-off.
No details have been confirmed about the third test event to take place at the new Everton Stadium but it is expected to take place at some point in July this year.
Simon Tramalloni, Interim Operations Director at Stagecoach MCSL, said: “The recent test events at Everton Stadium have given us the opportunity to hear directly from supporters. We’re excited to trial the 918 route to better serve fans travelling from North Liverpool and nearby communities.
“With the addition of the 918 and ongoing support from the 919 and 939 routes, we’re committed to providing stress-free, great-value travel to your new stadium.”
