“We’ve been providing these special services for more than 30 years now because without them we know it would be very difficult and potentially costly for many people to see their loved ones on Christmas Day.
"Over the years we’ve found that people also use the buses to visit friends and family along the routes and we would encourage as many people as possible to make use of them.”Transport Portfolio Holder for the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority
