At the Chester West transport plan drop-in session in Chester the vehicle sizes on the X1 were raised. Although, if it's a commercial service there's not a lot the council can do unless Cheshire & Warrington introduce franchising once they get devolution and an elected mayor in 2027.

Most likely the 1/X1 will be under Merseyside franchising system once that gets underway, i believe the current plan for the Wirral routes is, operating 1/X1 & Schools from Rock Ferry, everything else from Laird Street, could well stipulate all 1/X1s are allocated to deckers.

the 1 and X1 are being run under permit and do not form part of the franchising
