That would work well so people going to Countess can get there quicker than via Eport. Via Eport adds about 15-20 mins on I think compared to direct to Chester. Just an idea but it would be really good. SC wouldnt run it though because it is like a rule of thumb for them, they will try not to go in direct competition with Arriva ad vice versa apparently. SC will not open up in Halton due to it being Arriva Land. That is the sort of ways they run apparently.

It runs Chester - Ellesmere Port - Helsby - Halton Lea because it replaced GHA 36 between E.Port & Halton Lea.

Helsby to Chester direct includes about 5 miles with a very low population - not ideal if you want to run a financially viable service.
