RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Just in case anyone wants a last chance to get a Cambridge P&R in service whilst they're still here, grey 10802 is Liverpool bound on the X8 at Port Sunlight just after 1pm today, and one of the green ones heading the opposite way at the same time, also on the X8.....with the Merseyrail engineering work first phase finishing after today, I would be very surprised if they are around after today (personal opinion that is.....)

Been there for a few days now. MANs are replacing the Scanias.

I stopped at backford a few weeks ago on an X8 due to the fact someone wanted backford and got on the wrong bus. As a driver I always ask where people are going especially people going to Birkenhead because the X8 doesn't stop there, yet I still have people coming to me asking if I'm going to Birkenhead.

The stops for the X8 are from chester:
Foregate Street
Chester Railway Station
Hoole Road(all stops)
all stops down the A41
Chester Zoo
Cheshire Oaks
Blue Planet
Sports Village Stanney Lane only
Ellesmere Port Bus Station
Thomas Telford Wetherspoons
Ellesmere Port Station
Bridle Road
Park Road
All Port Road
Bromborough Cross (before 9am and after 4pm weekdays and Saturdays)
Magazine Road
Shore Drive
Liverpool

Also as drivers we are trained to stop at a bus stop if someone waves us down in order to maybe assist them. So I don't think that really makes us clueless.

100% clueless. Someone needs more training.

From a contact in Cambridge, 10799 now arrived at Cowley Road. I'm told a green one is still out on the X8 today, which surprised me......

Probably waiting for the arrangements to be confirmed for the vehicle to sent down to cambridge.

Very sad to see these go - I for one won't be catching the X8 as frequently after they've gone!

At the moment there really isnt a market for the X8 to be double deck outside of the 1st and possibly 3rd phase of the track renewal work.
