RE: Merseytravel gain London Style Bus Powers
If I have read the article correctly, this does not have to wait for a general election. Liverpool are proposing it just for our city. They only want other major cities to join in so that it reduces the risk of a legal challenge. Also it is only being proposed on routes in Liverpool were operators don't see profit. So areas such as Bowring Park etc would see routes safeguarded and routes like the 79 would still be with in Arriva's own control.
