Some thoughts:

No Merseyrail trains on Boxing Day (as they tried in previous years).

Arriva not running 35 (St Helens) on Boxing Day/New Year's Day (as they have in previous years) although this does make sense is they only normally run Mon - Sat daytimes.

South Liverpool & Maghull Circulars now finish same time as other routes on New Year's Day (previously ran to normal finish times).

What is Merseytravel's thinking behind renumbering some (but not all) of the Christmas Day services to start with a H prefix? Just seems strange as most routes have had an X at the end of the number in the last few years.
