After the stop on Brownlow Hill the next stops on the 79C/D arecurrently on Lime Street and at Queen Square. Soon it will be outside Tesco in Hanover Street. only useful if you are going to Liverpool One and useless for people going to work in the Old Hall Street business quarter. I bet Anderson has a chauffer driven car to get him to/from the Cunard Building or Town Hall. The planners couldn't organise a p*** up in a brewery. They can't even repair a traffic light outside the site of the old Coronation pub on Childwall Valley Road whick I reported seven days ago.

I forgot to mention the awful location of the L One bus station, all the traffic lights that were "upgraded to scoot to ease traffic flows"all way from Queen Square to it that now means The Strand has priority for 90 seconds before the lights changing just like all the ones down Dale St & North John St and buses forced to use North John St both ways instead of Castle St because they dont want buses down it, and of course the most bus unfriendly bus station Queen Square that was built in their wisdom in the 90s to replace the 3 lane Gyratory around there that never had 1 queue and that was with double the number of buses there is now, and of course the perfectly functional Pier Head Bus Station that was huge and knocked down in the 90s so Paul McCartney could do concert at he Pier Head, with no replacement!!! Before any of the schemes were started 10 years ago it only used to actually take 4 minutes to get from Queen Square to the old Paradise St Bus Station, 5 peak times!

Next year the council and Miserytravel are embarking on another CCMS part 3000 To "aid pedestrians and cyclists" only. Victoria St down to 2 lanes with no bus stops, also Anderson doesnt want buses using Crosshall St Dale St or Mann Island so there is layover being built on Victoria St next to the tunnel entrance for all northbound buses to use and terminate at Queen Square. Only the 10A will continue to L One.
Lime St is being blocked in the middle to aid "pedestrian movement" so only able to access Queen Square from London Road ways, then the south buses to use Hanover and L1,. Also no 82D/86D. Lime St from the station to London Road is to be 1 lane each way with a masssive pavement outside St Georges Hall that no one uses, and no space for buses to park or rail reps.
