Bar the 84/85 avon & 811 a2b stagecoach will run all routes around bromborough & eastham, never thought that arriva would no longer operate in these areas

Oh given time i think Avon will be on Stagecoach's agenda , maybe just for the extra depot space it could provide .

I too cant believe that Arriva have vacated such a big area , the 418/9 was such a long route and the last bit didnt seem to generate much passengers from Bebington Station to Mill Park.

Who ever devised the QBP for the 1 and 2 really was looking at it slanted to Stagecoach and Arriva in the end looked like they were not interested in it effectively when First landed Chester city Transport from the council.

Arriva now need to look at keeping up with Stagecoach on the 471/2 if Stagecoach Gold doubles do arrive , Arriva will have to look at improving there side of the bargain.

Arriva already have the hybrids on the 471/472 with leather seats wifi and stuff so how can they improve

This would blend in well with Arriva's other routes from Chester to north Wales. That said, I am pleased to have been on those services with Stagecoach in May.

I wouldn't take what has been said about the Chester to Ruthin routes being awarded to arriva as gospel, afaik the tenders haven't gone out for those routes yet as it's Denbighshire council where as the Sp1/2 in Flintshire and as stated in post 6454 the driver corrected himself so ATM the moment that contract is still under stagecoach

Up for tender by Denbighshire Council in November, Stagecoach likely contenders to keep the route if Denbighshire Council have any sense.

It's been mentioned a number of times before that Gold double decks are arriving

The winner will be the cheapest bid, that's just the way it is, sad to say.
