Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

[wirralbus]

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
The X2 is the most direct route between Chester and Ellesmere Port , X8 comes out of Chester a completely different route and then operates via the retail mecca of Cheshire Oaks.

I seriously think the writing is on the wall for the none stagecoach journeys on the service 2 , but what maybe holding back Stagecoach is do they have enough Gold vehicles to cover the journeys that Arriva operate alongside the ones they presently use on the 2.
