Councillor Sue McGuire and John Pugh MP have worked on behalf of residents of Park Road West and surrounding streets for the return of route 45.
Sue McGuire commented: "I'm glad that Arriva recognise the impact the changes to the route 45 has had on many residents and am happy that they have now re-instated most of the route as the number 40."
"I continue to have concerns about how people from this area can now get to the hospital by bus."
The 40 bus route runs from Crossens to Derby Road via Park Road West, Knowsley Road, Leicester Street and Lord Street.
