On that basis, I am assuming that the boundaries are remaining the same for the time being (presumably until new ticket machines are installed on all the buses.

That of course means that this;

Old ticket:First Week Network adult @ £18.50
New ticket: Megarider Plus @ £13.50

Won't be valid on Stagecoach services beyond Liverpool.

However, given the current price of the Merseyside Satgecoach Megarider plus of £12.00, I can see the price of that ticket being increased soon & at that point, intergrated with the Wirral & Chester ticketing arrangements.

Liverpool & Wirral Day and Megarider's are just the current Liverpool tickets but with their validity extended over to the Wirral. Day and Megarider Plus tickets are the current Merseyside Plus tickets but with their validity area extended to cover both Wirral and Chester. Basically, any current Gillmoss, Rock Ferry and Chester operated service is covered by the Plus tickets.

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Are there any plans to replace the Scanias on 1 & 2 Liverpool-Chester services with anything, I know the Volvo are normally on the route but I do know Scanias find their way onto 1/2s quite regularly or the did when First were still operating the services

Nothing has been mentioned in the order list for 2013 so I highly doubt it unless something is cascaded in.

Scania's on the 1 and 2 Liverpool - Chester routes isnt this a QBP route , do Scania's comply with this QBP ?

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Scanias used on the 1/2 are mainly from Chester depot,this QBP is a load of nonsence,Merseytravel are turning a blind eye to the supposed use of Modern buses

Seems to be common practice for Merseytravel to turn a blind eye to what operators are putting on QBP's. The worst example was when Arriva were putting step entrance Paladin Scanias on the 10A when that QBP first started.

With the 1 and 2 QBP who is the lead party in this particular QBP though as the section outside Merseyside is in the hands of Cheshire West and chester council and they seem to have managed something that is half decent in the blacon pointer QBP scheme .
