Have 2533 and 2553 been fitted with WiFi as well?

The 21 is being withdrawn between helsby & chester from mid january & x30 is having timetable changes from same time
RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - iMarkeh - 08/12/2016 22:06
Any ideas why 21 is being shortened? It seems to be healthy into Chester.

Would this not be the Stagecoach evening operated service?
RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - mtl97 - 08/12/2016 23:22
Its the arriva 21 that will only run between helsby & runcorn, stagecoach 21 runs from chester to frodsham, saves arriva a bus to use on other routes, like 15 between chester & saughall being reduced to half hourly from new year as arriva are withdrawing 1 of their journeys each hour, between helsby & chester must only need 1 bus per hour & its better thats its the x30
RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - iMarkeh - 08/12/2016 23:54
Stagecoach 21 only operates evenings so Arriva have no competition. Though Stagecoach do have the X2 operating Chester to Runcorn operating the same as Arriva between Helsby and Runcorn. SC do have much cheaper prices so I can only guess this is the reason.

Enter Stagecoach.
X3 would be a fitting service number for a Halton Lea - Chester service, should they choose to seize the opportunity.
I have to say though, it will be very tight if not impossible to run the 21 with 1 bus on an hourly frequency between Halton Lea and Helsby, unless they interwork it (perhaps with the 3A/3C?)
RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - Valandil - 10/12/2016 07:06
I wonder if they factored this in when placing the order for the new gas buses, as in theory this cutback should free up 1 gas bus.
