Pretty much. I think UNITE still have some say about individual duties being unworkable, but the computer doesn't understand reality like inconvenience to passengers, wasted fuel (with massive negative media coverage) liklihood of drivers running late after tight mealbreaks.

As regards Deansgate itself, it is an upmarket area so there is little demand for buses other than commuter/tourist traffic (eg FreeBus, WitchWay etc) and no doubt a significant increase in bus traffic would draw anti-bus propoganda from the middle class Environmentalists (aka BBC NW) who think 15 year old diesel taxis emit Chanel No5 from their exhausts.
