I really think arriva need to start expanding their routes in chester city because it would not surprise me if stagecoach start branching into north east wales

Stagecoach wont touch North Wales and Arriva know that.
And also, if Arriva were to try to expand in Chester to any significant degree, it would be likely that Stagecoach would retaliate. I doubt if either company want to go down this route.
Dart 2233 was out on the #3 today, which we did from Lache into Chester... Scored 2233/2253/2434/2794/2797. Also had 'foreigners' 3133 & 4485. Could have also scored 2648 if we hadn't have been sitting working out the move to get 2253 in. Instead we had had the very dud 'foreigner' 4484 on the #11. Not a bad afternoons bus bash... Hi E208, I will see if I can get my lads picture of your bus off him some time in the near future... Smile

Just after you got off 2794 it got replaced with 2645... And no don't worry about the pics good to meet another forum member

Just of note E224WBG is now stored in Chester Depot with a open top DLA

Indeed according to a notice in our depot no Saughall services will operate from bus exchange and will all operate from Forgate Street

15X does current 15 route

There are going to be several variations but main one is most journeys will operate via Countess Hospital replacing DB1/2 which are shortened to terminate on Forgate Street

That's what the other cadet is! I had 2434 on service X55 yesterday Everning and passed another cadet on the hill to Buckley but did not realise what it was

I do not get why they have decided to move the service away from the bus station altogether.

All I can say is it about time the 15B was back - presume this will go from Chester to Saughall and around Blacon before returning to the City Centre.

Will the 15X be an express service?

From notice in depot 15X is the current 15 route (not serving countess) and will run some journeys Monday to Saturday morning
15 will be the main daytime loop all trips operate via countess then normal 15 route

15A/B are other variations but also serve Countess Hospital but not sure will get full info in work tommorow
