Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot

[Raawwwrrr!]

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
It's doubtful the X8 will be full at any other time other than Christmas sales, double deckers would not be justified at all. People will stay loyal to the 1 with it being a part of the quality bus partnership and more frequent. The X8 doesn't stop at the most useful of stops afterall. I'm pretty sure Birkenhead would have been a better option than Bromborough. Most people I see using the 1 nowheredays tend to use a mix of Stagecoach or Arriva tickets depending where they come from. Liverpool is dominantly an Arriva run city, statistically most people would have arriva tickets travelling to and from the X8 bus stop, and therefore would have to use the 1 if they don't wish to pay a double fare.

It won't connect with the X2 either without the route being split due to driver hours. Barely anyone would do the entire Chester to Preston route, it would be connecting a high end city with a low end city via a seaside town and liverpool, it would be madness.
