And 17021 has appeared in Chester too. A Chester driver has just told me the x8 will indeedo operate via the zoo and will continue to Cheshire oaks via backford
How come Chester needs Deckers all of a sudden?

A non stop version of the 1 and gets rid of the heavily congested M53 off the route at Cheshire Oaks .
It just didn't seem realistic to backtrack to use the M53 after calling in at Chester Zoo.
I've just noticed 17491 is in the paint shop at birkenhead along with 21256. 21271 is still here followingi ts accident a few months back awaiting parts.

Possibly to cover for the open top buses on a rainy day?
Stagecoach move the old buses from garage to garage to apply for grants to get new greener buses. Notice the old deckers were at Chorley, they get new Gold deckers. Rock Ferry had a few along with the Euro 3 Volvo B7s, they get new buses, then they moved to Gillmoss, who now get new buses. Chester will obviously be next to apply for this grant.

They got new gold buses not so long ago though, and they're getting new buses for the Park and Ride in a couple of months. All the other routes have relatively new buses already.
Chester didn't get NEW gold buses they was gold buses from elsewhere those midibuses wasn't it somewhere in Warwickshire .
