Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
That's not the case at all - just look at City Sightseeing Cambridge, where Stagecoach also use their own vehicles.

The case in C&W (I believe) was that Stagecoach wanted to drop the franchise and run the service under their own "Open Top" brand, in order to maximise revenue. However, that would appear to have changed now, with the franchise continuing.
