RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
From the response I got from stagecoach they don't think they can replace arriva's part, not sure whether that is because of vehicle shortage or something written in to the partnership,

Given that Stagecoach drivers reckon that the X2 is quite a money-spinner, I wouldn't be surprised if the Arriva diagrams are taken up by an extra roster from Stagecoach Chester. It only needs 1 vehicle & would be more cost efficient for Stagecoach to run than Arriva.

Can't see it being cut to hourly - especially if it does make money.
