Going back to what i mentioned previously regarding the Deebee Branding, I managed to get a photo of it in the depot, its not the best as it was rather awkward to take

Not what I was expecting....shame they domt use the old DB livery would stand out better

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
On Thursday the service 1 and X8 where suffering delays due to traffic congestion between Backford and Chester Zoo with delays of up to one hour. Some of the problem could be put down to a breakdown at Backford Dip and the extra traffic heading for Chester Zoo now we are having some half decent weather.

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Back to the service 1 , you can see from the timetable how much of the timetable is padding for Chester Zoo the services that omit Chester Zoo can do Upton Wheatsheaf to Cheshire Oaks in 7 , 8 or 9 minutes , the services via Chester Zoo do the same in 18 or 19 minutes , couple that all day and there is room for at least an extra journey.

Thank you for letting us know that the new Waverton base can have up to 75 vehicles. How many does Liverpool Road currently have?

So, the move to a small extent allows for the expansion following the take-up of ex-GHA routes.

Chester's current Liverpool road depot has an allocation of 62 vehicles, with a PVR for 55,
(Source Mbonwick Period 11 Fleetcard weekending 3rd March 2018), this is likely to change due to transferring to the Old Station and new services which are unmentioned.
