Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots
With short wheelbase enviro 200s that rock ferry use on the 16/16A/17 services, there would be potential for some of those to be used on a new 39 or a reintroduced 51 service between woodside & port sunlight via derby road or church road.

The shorter wheelbase would allow those buses to turn into greendale road. If theses are not available then a solo bus could be used on the service because they too have a much shorter chassis than the standard length buses in the stagecoach fleet.

The service could terminate over the road from port sunlight train station or do an old loop that the 38 used to do. This would bring the bus around to the stop right outside the train station.

The 51 was another service I drove while I was at radonneur and our instruction was to turn down passed where garden centre is ( my apologies I don't know the road name ) then work our way around to go up where the factory is and stop by the train station ready for the journey back to woodside.

Radonneur only operated the 51 service as the 151 on sundays only in accordance with merseytravel instructions. First ran it mon - sat and radonneur sundays only.

So there is still at least a way to get port sunlight back on the bus network.
