Actually yes it is. It is a partnership between all parties involved,

If somebody reads what First have published online they could come to the conclusion that the service frequency is erratic and that, if you look at the Heswall timetable, buses operate via different routes depending on which direction they're heading(!!) and that there is no evening service. Say if you lived in Heswall and wanted to go to Liverpool one night: you might well ride a First bus there and obviously an Arriva service back. If you just looked at First's timetable you would arrive at the conclusion that you couldn't get back so would probably abandon the bus altogether, losing them a daytime/early evening passenger in the process.

The operator of individual journeys is irrelevant to both passengers and the operator themselves and hence they should publish the timetable for the QBP routes in their entirety, not just the bits that First have rather childishly and very arrogantly chosen to publicise.
