Do that and attack the 487 /464 routes and i'm sure Stagecoach would find them being retaliated at. Leaving the route as it is along the A41 makes more sense . |

Well with the advent of day tickets completing them sorts of journeys is made more viable than previously , cant see a through service being introduced to them areas. |

Tbh I think the X8 should also go via Birkenhead Bus Station then onto its normal route |

According to Stageocoach MCSL Twitter, Rock Ferry garage is getting Wright Streetdeck SL15ZGP demonstrator on loan soon! https://twitter.com/StagecoachMCSL/statu...5695656960 buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice. I'll be right beside you dear. |

I wonder whether that is for evaluation on the 471/2 . It will get a foray probably on to a diagram of the 38 as well . I was too far away for the fleetnumber but there was a gold bus on the 41 this morning. |

Just to clear it up, you will not find Stagecoach and Arriva challenging each other on Merseyside or North Wales. Both companies management are really close and infact work together on things. |

Indeed a fitter said its coming on test for 471/2 as it's similar set up to Arriva's hybrids and apparently more reliable than the E400H he did say it's not going to be the only demo |

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
According to a fitter at LS, Arrivas Hybrids have proved to be incredibly unreliable. Often a few can be found in Thomas Hardie Volvo in deeside under repair. I am no longer active on this forum. |

This StreetDeck demo is fleet numbered 80028 it's a Daimler/Voith which seems a unusual combination. Just had a look at it rather intresting looking bus with glass roof and glass stairwell also it has Mobitec Destinations instead of Hanover Destinations |
