The fact is most people will already have Arriva day/weekly tickets from using connecting services in Runcorn/Widnes. As mentioned the gas buses are more than a good match for the MMCs and the earlier and later running and frequency of the 21/X30 would personally for me make it a no brainer to use the Arriva over Stagecoach. The idea of the X2 isn't to take competition off the 21/X30, but rather to provide an extended route into a heart of Cheshire which no other bus company currently serves from Halton. The economical reason it exists is to allow for easier driver changes at the Chester end, and for passengers a 'better value for money' network. When I've done the 21/X30, not many passengers have traveled the entire route length Although if travelling directly from Runcorn to Chester, the Arriva route offers a faster, more frequent and slightly better standard of buses, the X2 serves Cheshire Oaks, Blue Planet and offers onward connections to Chester Zoo (1/X8). Something which arriva cannot compete with. If you're taking your kids on a day out, the no brainier for me would be the X2, which is also cheaper if your buying tickets for the whole family. |
