Well, quite. It's just ridiculous that Merseytravel doesn't take the attitude of some of the other PTEs. For example look at Chester and how stringently the QBPs are run there. Then, look at Merseyside where QBP breaches are the order of the day with T reg Darts and marginally younger vehicles galore. As has been said, even those 54 reg deckers at Rock Ferry are actually non-compliant.

In a situation whereby a competent PTE is in chage, I genuinely do think that re-regulation would benefit the passenger immensely.

The real laughing point though is that the QBPs are supposedly for the benefit of the passenger.

What competent PTE? Only one I can think of that is competent is Travel South Yorkshire. Metro just ignore everything that's advised by the bus companies and other groups and plow on with whatever they have planned. Nexus, like Merseytravel, is another one who couldn't be trusted to run a bath, I mean they can't last 5 minutes without deciding to change a route they've just changed (case and point, Whitley Bay Towns, changed at least 5 times in the last 2 years or so). TfGM I can't comment on.

Not just Chester Merseytravel need to look at to see how QBPs should be run, there's also the excellent example in Oxford as well.
