If it's the Blockbusters by the bus station I'm not sure if the bus station has CCTV.May show passengers getting off buses
Do buses have cameras on them?
Shouldn't think there would be too many people on buses at 9am sunday mornings - the driver may also remember his passengers.
Are the police actively looking for himnow or do they have to wait a certain amount of time before they do?

I hope he's found and ok

Just hoping that someone has seen him. Anything no matter how small you think it is it really will help. Even if you're not sure it was him you saw.

Thanks for all your replies!

Eddtheduck if he didn't make it to the bus, that's the biggest empty space around there - less likely he's been seen if he's there!

He may have missed the bus and tried to walk through the Arno to catch a bus on the other road?

Hi, sorry for the late reply. My sister in law is his wife. We're all searching in different places. Because they don't know whether he got on the bus or not. We've searched Birkenhead town centre. I've leafletted shops. The sevens taxis are ringing around. Everyone's doing what they can. I work for Argyle park they're helping. It's just insane the amount of love and support out there for him x
