I noted 36813 in Chester yesterday on a Blacon route. Has this bus left Rock Ferry?

Youused to be able to buy on board for the 32 (£2 return to Chester Zoo from chester stn) before the X8, I remember asking Stagecoach MCSL on twitter the best way to travel there and it was recommend. (What they forgot to mention was that the park and ride only called there during peak season and instead I'd have to walk to the old Chester Bus Stn to catch it )

Correct. There was an agreement between train companies and the 32 to offer through train tickets. I think that is how the return fare thing came about. Now the agreement is in place on the X8 (except return is now £4)

They are supposedly staying at gillmoss arnt they to convert the likes of the 10A or another route to decker operated.

Given that the ex Coastliner vehicles are not "Gold" spec, it would presumably take some time & money to upgrade them to that spec? My guess would be that they're intended to provide extra capacity on another route, with "Gold Spec" vehicles being drafted in from elsewhere for route 1 in due course.

The Coastliners are Staying at Gillmoss and are apparently for the 82/86 Services
