Several years ago the council were looking to build a 5th park and ride site near Mickle Trafford, as well as it being a link to Chester it could become a link to the Oak, whilst I think this is an option I do feel a further Park and Ride site would be required at the Ellesmere Port end!

Not only one route 1, X1 and the 5, route 2 too, on Black Friday route 2 terrible over half hour delay from Runcorn/ frodsham and Cheshire Oaks were terrible traffic. I was on Stagecoach Volvo Wrights 16957. I noticed driver frustrated and rushed and speed up to catch up time.
