Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots
RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Drivers are easy to find, Got loads of ex GHA drivers to pick from, Buses will be a problem as Arriva are already leaving Depots short so they can run these Services

Not so bad for Arriva at the moment with the schools/colleges/universities away. But what is going to happen when those borrowed buses are required back at their home depots in September? Are the new buses for Green Lane or Speke due soon?

All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles

The same applies for stagecoach, rock ferry operates a number of schools and Chester runs a couple so that's a good few buses available for 6 weeks

I can really see stagecoach getting their foot in the door in Halton now they have the 36. Although Runcorn hasn't had stagecoach services until now, people still know who they are. If more services appeared, it wouldn't be long before they became a strong competition for Arriva/HT.

I guess only time will tell though!

Not seen anything anywhere about Stagecoach doing both SP1 & 2 but assume from your post that they have taken them both on.[/b]
