More reductions to Chester depot from today/tomorrow.

3 has reduced hours
4/X4 down to 2 hourly each and reduced hours (Seems to be if you run a 4 to Chester, you run a X4 back to Mold and vice versa). Also down to every 2.5 hours on Sundays.
10/10A down to hourly Mon-Sat and 90 mins on Sundays. Reduced hours.

Chesters Mon-Sat PVR is now down 6 and Sundays down to PVR of 3.

Do you mean buses have swapped or Chester services are being ran by Wrexham depot?

In the long term is Arriva Chester viable or can the operations be asorbed into Wrexham and Rhyl , with relevant service alterations to prevent excessive dead mileage.

Why on earth would Chester services be transferred to Rhyl? The dead mileage involved would be ridiculous

Was thinking the same thing I feel Wrexham is the only option if Chester becomes an outstation

I dont mean the entire allocation going to Rhyl , but certain jobs that end at the country end of the Chester work .

Chester really only started to get a stranglehold when Chester City Transport was up for sale , unfortunately that ended up with First (now Stagecoach) and arriva have really only been second fiddle ever since.
