I guess so, the state of the old bus stops played a factor in replacements being put up, as they were starting to fall apart and passengers felt unsafe, the council opted for the style replacement as it was short term u til the new station opens in January 2017

Current ones are
SN16OPD : 26050
SN16OPF : 26051
SN16OPG : 26052

And i presume the others continue as OPH, OPJ etc and on wards in numerical terms.

Surely SN16 OPG will be 26053 and not 26052 as I would of thought if they are in succession it would be more like
SN16 OPD : 26050
SN16 OPE : 26051
SN16 OPF : 26052
SN16 OPG : 25053

Thanks for that, I thought 'OPE' wouldn't be used....and 'OPC' is the last one for the Winchester park & ride (26041-26049).

It is a remarkably helpful time of year for a new bus station to open. It means I can go to Chester just a few weeks later and still have plenty of daylight to see a wider area. So next March is possible now, unless I find out about some distinctive new buses due soon after that.

The only new buses chester are getting are the enviro MMCs for the park and ride, which will be several months old by then

Arriva haven't put in their orders yet, them or any of the independents around Chester (Gha, Townlynx etc) might well get new buses.
