I have heard this is because the council can't afford to or just won't contribute the necessary amount of transport budget money to participate.
Then look at the average age of the Halton fleet and it's way over seven years, required to be part of the future "Bus Alliance". So, as much as you might think that the city region might have a foundation on which a regional municipal operator could be built, there doesn't appear to be any political will for it to happen.

All the money that halton council make from the new bridge can buy a full new fleet of buses within weeks..or have I got something wrong
