I remember when the new bridge was about to open, they came up with what I thought was a really good set of changes, particularly regarding frequencies and evening services, but then at the last minute cancelled them all and fell back to the same old same old in Runcorn - hopefully this time something positive will actually be implemented, but we'll see.

Most passengers weren't happy with the changes. The changes also relied on the X30 moving to Chester to provide space for the extra buses needed to run the services. Obviously the X30 didn't move to Chester so there was no space.

The lack of service to the old town was a big issue for customers and it went mental on their facebook because of the changes.

Then add in the fact that the registrations were late so on the first day, buses had to just run over the bridge on their normal route and it was worked out that there was no difference compared to the old bridge. Except maybe one or two minutes delay which can easily be solved.
