Thats good , the Chester service down that side of the Wirral has always been the poor relation in recent years.

With the 38 becoming a gold route will this release some Enviro200s to other routes?

The 1 is still going to be mostly scania operated as the scania's arnt designed to be on routes like the 38

You may also find the spare 400mmc might be a regular on the 38

It's all deckers that has been advertised

If that is the case, why was Rob Jones photographed with the Gold Enviro300s for a newspaper article about the 38? If they were using deckers, surely it would be sensible to have them in the photo!

Other than a few diagrams on the 38 route that tie in with school start/finish times, there's no need for deckers on the route.

The 1 does however need deckers at peak times, and this was (presumably) the main reason it was re-routed away from Mill Lane in Upton.

I expect that when the ex Kettering deckers all get rolled out, they'll end up covering both routes, as required.

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots
As i've said the Gold deckers on the 38 could well be Stagecoach responding to the Arriva 407 being extended to West Kirby in just over a week.

Also i've just seen a couple of Gold Enviro300s on the 38

There's a standard Enviro400 at Moreton Cross with it's hazard lights on[was 07.50 ex West Kirby] looks like a fitter or recovery vehicle job
