Main problem though was the ferries, any regular tunnel bus would take work from the ferries[or so the unions would claim], unions would be out straight away in protest, so buses were coordinated to Woodside/Seacombe/Pier Head, last buses from the ferry terminals were normally timed to connect with the last ferries[certainly most PTE routes were], d-reg changed all that, straight away there was an increase in cross river bus routes, with Queensway[Birkenhead]tunnel having regular services

Yes you are right although I am talking very much about the (very) pre-pte period. Cross river services did increase post 69 of course. Engineering disruption due to the loop-line construction and the withdrawal of the New Brighton Ferry also created demand for cross river services.
