Makes it easier for everybody , down the line . Flat Fare Flat Fare - CrossRiver Day Ticket . It just looks a repeat of what Arriva have done but just that bit cheaper. |

Considering there in partnership on a couple of routes , you would think that it was most sensible to do that , otherwise it would be a case of waiting for another operator yet again to pay a substantially cheaper ticket , this way the tickets are near the same but not exactly the same . |

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
I think it stops confusion when explaining about tickets to passengers as some passengers cant understand why it cost £2.20 from hillside to liverpool but cost £2.80 from hillside to st helens which is shorter distance so flat fare makes it easier to understand now. |

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
What it does do though is make some of the very long routes like the X2 from places say just beyond Southport to Liverpool very unprofitable for the company , with Stagecoach now really dependant on lots of short hops bringing the profitability up. |

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
I know this is off topic but wouldn't it be easier to have a flat pricing structure in Manchester , the only problem there is it probably would have an effect on there TFGM smartcard pricing structure . |

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Unfortunately its called free market economics the present differential pricing structure in different parts of Manchester. Why it has taken so long for the services on the Wirral and into St Helens to fall in behind the Liverpool fare structure is beyond me though. |
