Saveaways are obviously valid to Chester/Ellesmere Port by train, so Merseytravel obviously know there is a market for cross-boundary zonal ticketing. This happened because the pot was "redistributed" to give the rail companies a bigger share. Chester/Ellesmere Port are even within Merseytravel Area G. A good step would be to create an Area G Saveaway AND subsequently allow the All Zone Saveaway into Area G by bus. |

They invest considerably in projects as far as South Yorkshire rolling stock investment, to more local schemes like the Halton curve. Although they are highly responsible for the transport within Merseyside, they are very much responsible for improving travel INTO and OUT OF the Merseyside region. They have aspirations like the Halton Curve, increased/faster services to Manchester, additional trains to London, electrification to Helsby, Wrexham-Bidston etc. Some way outside of the Merseyside area. On the buses, you have Merseytravel supporting buses to/from North Wales, (811 etc). Until recently, they supported the Chester shuttle bus. You can't only invest in Merseyside if you want to improve transport links in the region. Good investment would see Wigan/Warrington brought within a new rail area (W!), so the City Line is fully integrated along with Chester in Area G having bus validity. |

I was led to believe there only allowed to provide improvements to transport up to 30 miles from any part of the old Merseyside county boundary. |
