Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Having seen the new X8 timetable, I can possibly understand why the last turn off Chester has been withdrawn, but I can't see the logic of pulling the second northbound service? That it obviously runs empty to Liverpool to take up what was the return diagram makes it even more puzzling.

I use this service to get to work & if I were still working in Bootle, it would cause me major inconvenience. Thankfully, I am starting a new job in Liverpool so it's not as big a problem, but the change does restrict my options. Grr...!!!

Could it not be that Rock Ferry will do the first X8 from Liverpool to Chester and the Bus will then go onto the 1/2? as that would be less dead running and would make more sense

Is this a case of getting rid of journeys where there is a drop in the profit margin , or is this still a case of experimenting with this service.

Engine and drivetrain were removed months ago by Morecambe before it went for scrap...

18151 and 28544 are on 38A, while 19070 is on the 41/2.

Only 3 tridents in the depot today along with 19060, so the remaining 3 trident and Enviro400s are all playing out.

Nice interesting allocations today while the 3 queens are playing!

Double decks on the 41/42 with decent loads - nice to see for a change
