Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
I doubt there's any commercial routes that carry only concessions, my point was more that ENCTS passengers do not generate any profit for the operator - so for all intents and purposes they may as well not exist.

I have no idea of the difference (if any) in renumeration rate between LCC and Cheshire West. Don't forget that route profitability depends on other factors, such as overall fares level, usage, driver wages etc etc. The services you say may be well loaded with fare paying passengers at peak times (or they may be LCC supported).

What I'm trying to say is that loads of ENCTS passes aren't the be-all and end-all in determining the survival or not of a route - but they don't help anything.
