Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
The X8 does seem to be loading better over the last few weeks. Although the peak hour turns are not exactly oversubscribed, there are some good loadings between Hoole & Ellesmere Port for the students. It's also getting more use to/from Cheshire Oaks.

Certainly doesn't seem to justify deckers just yet, but I suppose using larger vehicles could give the route a bigger profile (in more ways than one).

I'm under the impression that Stagecoach want to try and make a go of the X8 so will throw a fair bit of resource at it in the short to medium term. Hopefully, it'll work & loadings will continue to increase.
