RE: VOSA Bus Registration Search
Its possible this route could take some passengers from Halton end to end however a post on Facebook claims its going the same way and stopping at the same places as the X1 so it will do more harm to Arriva this For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly!

Just to expand a little on this post, of course Stagecoach profit on the 82 and 86 both of which are to South Liverpool but there are more out there for Gillmoss. As I said, Wigan as well. |

I’d say there are a few routes Gilmoss could profit on.There are lots of tendered routes which take a lot of passengers. They would be good for Stagecoach but they are obviously a risk. There was a lack of willingness to take risks as for 4 years there has been no new commercial routes. Now there are 2 new routes at the same time (X5 and 23). I think there is a lot of routes Stagecoach could have if they plan it and work it properly. If they started advertising externally, they would have a lot more passengers on new routes. Spamming twitter won't work given no one will see the advert unless they are already signed up to the SC twitter. They need posters on bus stops, local newspaper ads (All the things they did on the X8).

Almost a test the water thing.It goes into Crows Nest supposedly. The 26 and 27 have the highest number of passenger numbers on tendered routes in Halton. If they play it right, there are a LOT of passengers using services around Crows Nest. |

RE: VOSA Bus Registration Search
Best just wait until we get a proper timetable and map before we speculate too much on this but it is a very interesting service registration. buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice. I'll be right beside you dear. |

I have a strange little feeling that Stagecoach would end up buying Halton Transport |

Out of the two i reckon Halton would end up swallowed up by Stagecoach or even Arriva, Can't see Warrington would be sold anytime soon, altough i have heard romers that Arriva, Rotala, Stagecoach and apparently First have tried few times to buy Warrington buses |
