I doubt it will take that much longer & a bonus will be that it shouldn't get as bogged down in traffic around Cheshire Oaks at peak times. At least one contributor on here has cited the issues getting off the M53 & round the Oaks which cause issues occasionally.

I'm also hoping it will stop by the shops at Long Lane, Upton as well as I could get on the darned thing there!!

Perhaps this is to scrap the zoo rail ticket scheme on the 32 between the station and zoo when stagecoach take control of the PR this summer, instead accept them on the x8.. kind of forces people to use it!

And if they decided to reroute the 1 to avoid the zoo, it would mean arriva passes can't be used there as the x8 isn't qbp, meaning people visiting the zoo would have to buy a stagecoach ticket.. just a thought.
