Route History

[L544]

RE: Route History
Disastrous and very confusing, was an attempt to join pairs of routes into single routes running across the city. To pair up the common factor had to be service frequency.
I think the intention was to eliminate terminating at city centre bus stations with possibly a service charge saving? .
But it introduced chaos to timekeeping.
Hard to imagine now with no cross city services at all through the city centre. But long standing through routes in the 1960's such as 3 20 25 and 46 from Dingle/ Penny Lane to Walton had provided the convenience of through journeys to football grounds, and hospitals.
Nowadays any such journeys involve a trek for the able bodied from Renshaw Street or Liverpool One to Queen Square with a city effectively cut into two halves. For the less agile/ disabled nothing as convenient exists.
