1) The Bus Hub currently under construction in Old Haymarket will become fully operational in January ahead of the timetable change
2) Services from the north which were going to be cut at Queen Square (12,13,17 etc) will now continue beyond Queen Square in peak hours to provide access to Dale Street and the Business District. This move will be subject to a six month trial period and reviewed at the end of it.

However, there is still some confusion regarding the situation with Hanover Street. The initial email sent out indicated the council will be implementing bus priority measures to enable the 75,80 and 82 routes to continue operating via their present routes. This email was then recalled and a new one sent out which said the council is still 'exploring' bus priority measures and that further consultation with the bus operators and stakeholders is required.

That is interesting the council have obviously realised the problems it will cause at last. Also merseytravel Arriva and stagecoach have never supported these proposals its all the council they have all just had to go along with it and the councils blahhh its for the greater good merseytravel did resist the cross river changes and some other details to it
