The Mayor has said he is now looking at red routing some of the roads though that the bus lanes where on to prevent them from being used for indiscrimate parking .

It will be interesting to see which, if any, of the former bus lanes might be designated Red Routes. The one I have most experience of is the Rice Lane/County Road one in Walton.

From my recent experiences, both as a motorist and bus passenger, it now seems perfectly acceptable to park anywhere along this section, switch on your hazard lights and disappear into the nearest shop, fast-food outlet, pub etc. for as long as the fancy takes you. Is this practice common anywhere else in Liverpool?
