Journey would also take roughly the same amount of time, arguably quicker due to the lack of changes using the X10. Should be decent demand for this Will this be one vehicle , is there an option to run a duplicate if demand is there ? |

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
Those prices given seem to be the North West Explorer ticket meaning that you can buy that on a normal bus to get to the X10 route as well. If anyone fancies doing the X8 as well and you can do so using only Stagecoach MCSL buses, you could do the £19 3 day explorer and do the X8 to Keswick on Saturdays then the X10 on a Sunday. 2 nice days out for under £20. |

I imagine if they use a decker with 'all forward facing seats' usable* (so around 60 odd) that should be big enough but I guess if demand is high they will get a dupe If you want to go for an even lower price (serious plug haha) Stagecoach are after drivers so if anyone wants to apply and you are successful you'll get a staff pass to go on it free! * In England at least, maybe rules in Wales will change by July, otherwise that plan will not work! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

All forward facing seats upto there then split people between buses to comply with the rules over the border haha. |

It needs to find its way on to the StagecoachMCSL Twitter feed for both Liverpool and Wirral , like they have done for the Chorley operated X8 to Keswick. That X8 shows what can be done if the right people advertise it |
