Red Routes in Liverpool - Barney - 08/12/2017 12:18
A lot of comments followed the removal of most of the bus lanes in Liverpool two years ago and now, it would seem, the City Council is considering introducing three Red Routes to speed up traffic movement. I wonder what members think of this proposal?
Personally, as a motorist and bus user, I think that it is an excellent idea.

I couldn't agree more, I think more than just those roads need to be red routes but also enforce it!
Driving a bus on some of these roads can be challenging having to move in and out of parked cars to get to bus stops then not being able to get out of the stops as the passing traffic won't let you out! Parking on approach to junctions too meaning far less traffic gets through in any sequence too (as only one lane gets through, not two) makes a huge difference too.
Just do Hanover Street as well please lol

Something is cure being talked about on BBC Merseyside regarding public transport, I'm sure reading your post Barney it'll be a subject they're talking about
