That could work although in hindsight that would create a bottleneck at the crossing with two lanes merging into one

Maybe by other services that head up Brownlow Hill (6/7/14/61/79/79C/79D and also the 78) to Liverpool One could mean a re-working of bus stops in Queen Square.

People would get used to it in time as they have done with other services.

I think Halton's 14 and the 78 and 79/79C/79D could be moved to Liverpool ONE running via Hanover Street and Lime Street - but I think the 6/7 and Halton's 61 would be better running from Queen Square as well as other services serving Huyton

If south Liverpool services were focused on Liverpool ONE it could free up the use of Stand 1 at Queen Square. I would do the following:

Stand 1: 6, 7, 8/9 and Halton 61
Stand 2: 15
Stand 3: 10B
Stand 4: 10/10A
Stand 5/6: 12/13, Arriva 14 and 18
Stand 7/8: Stagecoach 14, 17, 19 and 20/21

Just an idea!
