Also the night buses to Chester is apparently disappointing patronage and will probably be cut after Xmas, same with the 86 one

Thats because there standalone services and not part of a network. I think once these night buses have gone you will probably only have the christmas night bus services.

Its another case of use them or lose them.

Patronage has declined considerably since christmas on it. It might survive as just a weekend service in January but no more 24/7 are to be introduced anywhere else.

The X8 is also to become Gold in the near future Stagecoach want Gold on all Cross Rivers

The most well used part of the night bus 1 from what I've seen is beteeen Liverpool and Birkenhead, quite often more than 20 people on it when I've used it.
