It was only until recently i found out that the former Chester park and Ride site at Sealand Road was actually in England and Wales .

Is this the resaon for the P&R site there to be closed , probably never to be used again.

Interesting....will that require more buses into Rock Ferry? I'm assuming the E400MMC's are fully used at the moment.....

Why is it still the ‘X1’, implying it is an express route - when it is anything but. Doesn’t run via New Ferry By-pass anymore. Should be numbered 1A.

As it's still classed as a more direct version of the 1 or so they say however I am sure both 1/X1 been padded out so well that both are now aslong as each other

Depends if there is any spare MMCs, I'm wondering if Chester Depot may be doing some trips this time round? Years ago when the 1/2 was on timetable they used to have 2 buses on the loop, so I'm wondering with the X1 going back to full timetable if we could see this again from Chester

If Chester Depot will be operating any of the extra journeys on 1/X1 have they got enough deckers to run the services?

Think they may be getting some 200MMC’s from Nuneaton Depot but I’m not 100% sure on that, Chester only has 6 deckers which are 15535/67/83/84/85/96

Maybe some deckers displaced from Manchester ?
