Metrolink is part of the Bee Network although not branded as such.

We take the three minute (0.1 mile) walk to The Metropolitan (stop A) for the 14.07 Stagecoach Manchester service 172 to Newton Heath Terminus arriving at 15.21 on Tuesday.

Mindful of the 10 minute minimum connection time here, we depart from platform A on 2N59, Merseyrail's 2318 service towards New Brighton. We alight at Wallasey Village at 2337 on Tuesday.

Well this is rather problematic as there are no other bus stops in range and there isn't any other departures for seven hours*! So we'll have to wait for the 1529 Al's Coaches service 675 to Heswall (West Grove), arriving there at 1544 on Wednesday.

(* happy to stand corrected however).
