He, or one of his underlings, takes part in a Radio Merseyside phone-in on the Roger Philip's show every month. Worth a listen.

It certainly is!

Some interesting facts (according to Cllr Robinson);
-97% of Merseyside's buses are now low-floor.
-Queen Square Liverpool is Europe's busiest bus station.
-Merseyside has the largest number of Smartcard users outside of London.
-The Mersey Tunnels turnover £40m a year generating a £15m surplus (£20m spent on Tunnels maintenance, staff and operating costs, and £5m spent on paying-off Tunnels debts) and this £15m probably explains why Merseyside can fund free Christmas Day services.
