See that there is a new X5 service to Widnes expanding footprint in Merseyside. Always surprised that, unlike Manchester, stagecoach didn’t snap up an independent or two.

doubt that would add much if they did,most just doing merseytravel work,which Stagecoach can pick up on re tender if they want,or step in like they have with the 204

What route is this new X5 taking, and how will it differ from the Halton Transport route 14.
RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot - MPTE1955 - 23/07/2018 18:17
27778 is back here again and out on 204.

I wouldn't rule that out. If this new service attracts decent loadings, it could reduce revenues that Halton depend on from their operations into Liverpool.

X5 is limited stop and i dont believe it would run along with Haltons's 14 all the way to Liverpool, I do predict it would go via Hough Green, Halewood then A562, Either that or go along the A561 where Arriva's X1 is running.
I also wouldn't be surprised if the X5 got extended to Warrington or Runcorn if it attracts a lot of passengers.

After purchasing the registration, it looks like they have played a blinder on the X5. If the admins say I can share the route, I will but as they posted on another thread about waiting for an official post, I will leave it with them. To say Halton could be in trouble is a MASSIVE understatement. I know Stagecoach wanted to buy them out a few times. Is this just a different way of going about it? Taking the passengers and keep doing so until Halton eventually give up as they can't sustain competition?

I fail to see how this will affect Halton when the X5 is going the same way as the X1, If anything its going to affect Arriva as the X5 will offer a quicker end to end Service and The X5 starts at the same time Arriva make their changes to the 79C, 82A and 500 which could benefit Stagecoach.
