RE: Talks of Liverpools bus network being "council" run
I think that a Saturday style service should run on Sunday daytimes in busy towns/cities as most of the time, Sunday can be just a busy in these places as Saturday. As for Boxing Day, Merseytravel used to provide contracted services all day on this and New Years Day (very interesting just after Dereg as it wasn't the usual operator on these services) but in the last few years, Merseytravel have just let the operators run what they like on these days and in all but a few areas, pulled out of most provision. Not as much of a problem on New Years Day as has been stated as Trains usually run but Boxing Day when the Trains are off is another matter. My view would be if there is limited resources for these days, put them into a Saturday style service on Boxing Day and a bare bones service on New Years Day.
