Considering now that the Rat and Parrot has sat empty and closed for 5 years,a lot of the property was not needed in this location, and the bus station was always too small for the traffic it is expected to handle,Sir Thomas St shouldn`t be needed, it`s only because Queen Square is so congested that it is. The only answer now apart from mass demolition, and that is not going to happen is to take some services away from Queen Square all together to give what`s left more chance to breathe. If all the services that serve the Edge Lane and Picton Road Corridors shift to Liverpool One and exit thru Hanover Street it would at least ease some of the over crowding on the bus station and some congestion into Lime Street.Saying this though Hanover Street needs more bus priorities and is due for a long term closure soon for gas works, so no easy solution at all.
