Looking back over the operators history of the 22 in recent years, its seems the 22 just isnt commercially viable

I mentioned a while back that when avon ran it it was said by somebody who works there, it just about broke even and was ran as an essential service, not a money maker.

I believe it picked up when Stagecoach first took over when avon went bust, and ran it out of Rock Ferry, but all these late evening journeys and retimed services when it transferredto Chester seem to have have caused some issues.

I've not been able to use it since it transferred to Chester as the morning journey I often used was retimed meaning I would be too late. I've not actually looked at the latest timetable change, no point me getting used to it as it'll be changing again soon!
