That's a shame, where did all the others go?

What a shame, that Stagecoach closed the Wrexham out-Station

As far as I know they went for scrap around July this year.

Gillmoss's 10545 just spotted in Bromborough on the X8 Chester bound

Why exactly would Stagecoach want to get into Wrexham, a town which experience suggests cannot support competition?

Since last Monday morning until now. Maybe short term loan for Xmas peak time.

Could it be on temporary loan to replace 19046 while it’s repaired?

They have been slowly moving that way over the last couple of years with the tenders they have been picking up and the C56 does fit into things quite well

I am finding the Mon-Fri timetable odd compared to the Saturday one. I think the Saturday one should be all week. Just more streamlined and much easier for passengers to remember times. I think the C56 is really good but people are too stuck in their ways and wont ask prices etc. IF you go round Wrexham shouting the C56 is quicker than the Saph 1, drops you at Chester Bus Interchange and costs only £4 return and you can use that to travel around Chester.... Bargain. People will jump on it but SC do no advertisement.

If the SPs were hourly rather than the random rubbish they are now, they would make loads Ewloe - Mold but the way they are, they are too messed up to work properly and take the revenue.

No one gets on a bus anymore to ask prices. People need to stop being so stuck in their ways. SC could make more money but it depends on branding, making prices stand out to people and timetables where possible in a thinner format for those who are Mold, Connahs Quay etc, they dont really want/need the 1, 1A, 5, 7, 9 etc. They just need the times for their area. Bit of advertising goes a long way. Look at Link Network on 329, Fairbrothers on 16X.... It all works well if done properly.
