This is a subject that could roll on and on , but im going to leave it there for the time being.

I can confirm that Birkenhead are to operate that one x8 journey in the morning which was mentioned a while back.

24132 has returned to gillmoss, 24125 has turned up in its place. Swapped for an unbranded one, perhaps its not short term.

Just one morning trip, and the remainder or Chester operated.

Smacks of penny pinching to me. Hopefully I will be proved wrong, but when a service such as X8 starts getting pruned in this manner, it may only be a matter of time before there are more cuts.

To be honest its more a case that the depot is at the wrong end of the route for that particular journey inwards to Liverpool and the Liverpool - Chester X8 must pay its way at the time and rather than kill one full round trip they have found a way to get round it , I applaud stagecoach's innovation here.

The evening prune might be because the journeys don't convey enough to be worthwhile , end of service services are always going to be sort of problematic as there is no return journey for them to come back on.

Is there an agreement in place that prevents the X8 from calling into Bromborough Cross

Are any of the X2 Southport Enviros 400s in service over here? Seen a picture of someone on Facebook who uploaded a picture of themselves on a stagecoach Enviro400 in Birkenhead with the high back seats like these examples?
