Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
There is certainly a need for a bus service between Heswall & Chester. The problem arises in how to operate such a service effectively, whilst serving the main population centres. Given the local geography, it's not an easy thing to do.

In Crosville days, we had two separate services each running two hourly, that covered most of the ground between them. Successive changes have sought to operate these services on an ever thinner shoestring & we've now got to the point where the three main operators have tried to run commercial services with little success. The trouble is that whilst the route probably makes some money, it's nowhere near enough for the bigger players with shareholders to satisfy.

Helms could be another contender as is Avon, but I can't think of too many other contenders.
