Buses at Murdishaw Centre

Murdishaw is a major stop on the Runcorn Busway, a dedicated bus only road that serves most of Runcorn new town. Except at bus stops, pedestrians are not permitted on the busway, hence the provision of the footbridge (left background) to allow access to the shops from the houses south of the busway. The two buses seen here are operating the busway circular service, which circumnavigates the main part of the busway at frequent intervals. Contrary to appearances, they are running in opposite directions: all buses stop on the same side of the busway here, regardless of direction of travel, with westbound buses using the turning circle to access the bus stop (see Image). Other services that use the busway go further afield; for example there are buses from here to Warrington, Widnes, and Liverpool, among others.
