Ive seen relief x8 & most of them are busy, there is a need for them, i think it was a good idea of stagecoach to do it, first wouldnt of
The QWest staff at the CBI are saying the G3 it is free as well. It is daft is that is the case. Also, why not save money and use a solo... Cheaper than a brand new bus. Unless tender states that was the case.
Either way, an unusual vehicle for Stagecoach, might go out for a ride on it one day when it arrives!

It could be the vehicle is being supplied by the council on a lease agreement hence why that style of vehicle, is being used, and as far as I know Chester isn't expecting any new vehicles, I know CWAC do have something similar in use
I didnt know CWAC leased vehicles out like that. Also as for their fleet, I thought it was all step entrance minibuses with a rear door for ramp access. I didnt think low floor minibus... Will be interesting if this is the case. Very interested.

Can i ask how you know that its charging normal fares?

They certainly have done in the past it could be the case that the vehicle is supplied with the contract especially as it's a none standard vehicle for stagecoach it will be interesting to see what livery adapts

I understand that the vehicle will be a long term demonstrator loaned directly from Mellor, for in-service appraisal.
