Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots
RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
I prefer this layout on this body with the blue on the front. I don't dislike the other repaints, I just prefer this.

if that happened i would use stagecoach a lot with a weekly being 13 pound 50 and valid in st helens, liverpool, birkenhead, chester, southport, preston and chorley, that to me would be a bargin and a great move by stagecoach

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
There will be no change in ticket boundaries resulting from the licence cleanup - it's purely an administrative exercise at the request of VOSA. Both Ribble and GTL licences are already under the same management (Merseyside & South Lancs) anyway.

You can already buy a ticket in St Helens that is valid in Preston; the North West Megarider Gold price at £26 for 7 days. This is valid on all Merseyside & South Lancs services, and Cumbria & North Lancs too.
Using that ticket you could get from Wigan via the 113, all the way up to Dumfries or over to Newcastle.

What you really mean is you want something for nothing....

For the area it covers, I think the Merseyside megarider is outstanding value. Expanding it to Preston etc would just be commercial suicide.

It seems you are not alone. We had a right barney on the Stagecoach Manchester thread last night about the repaints at Wigan and the former Bluebird Middleton depots. The consensus definitely was people prefer the Blue front.

It's not a case of depots rushing repaints, but just not bothering to ask how they should be done.

Hopefully when the Merseyside painters see 21236/7 they'll start to ask....
