Look around number 63 on this list it mentions night tunnel buses replaced the ferries but no mention of a law

I have been reliably informed that the legal obligation to run a night tunnel service is a myth and that Merseytravel have acted within the law.

I find it quite remarkable that just ten years ago this service was operated with double-deckers on a ten-minute frequency at weekends. My understanding is that these days many young people now converge on Liverpool's city centre around midnight and head home when the first buses and trains recommence the next morning. Having said that I am sure that there must still be some demand for a weekend night bus service through the tunnel for those people who cannot afford the exorbitant taxi fares.
