RE: QBP Liverpool and Wirral
I wouldn't even say Stagecoach has North Liverpool to be fair, on the contrary Arriva exclusively operates the 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10B, 12, 13, 15, 18, 26 and 27, plus they compete with Stagecoach on the 10A and 14. There are also the Bootle routes (52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 58) which all serve the Vauxhall and Kirkdale neighbourhoods of North Liverpool, plus the cross-city 60, 61, 62 and 68. I suppose you could argue there is less of an Arriva monopoly over the south side, but for me Arriva dominate the north as well if anything.

I do agree with your other point, however. Capacity is a greater issue for the majority of passengers than emissions standards or even bus age. More needs to be done on the 10, 82 and 86 in particular to improve space provision.
