I am sure that a lot of people would love the opportunity to board a bus at these two stops to get to Water Street or Liverpool ONE but it is forbidden. When the Citylink service is withdrawn in April, the only way to get from Queen Square to the Pier Head area will be to walk or get a taxi. This does not make any sense to me nor, I suspect, a lot of other people.

Just clarifying that you can board buses at that stop. The flag says "Alighting and City Centre Only" and there's information on the board with details of buses going further into town. I've even seen the inspectors there actually putting people onto buses, which is good as I've witnessed buses driving-off despite people trying to flag them down. I know that it's wrong but, in reality, who blames them? It might not be the right thing to do but they've probably just spent many minutes trying to get into Queen Square, are parked in an awkward position whilst holding other buses up and are late as a result of it all. One bus can hold-up that whole lane and even the surrounding roads. Definitely not an ideal boarding place.
