That would make sense but what moved then for the 9/X9/109/209 to move in? Yes they won the SPs and the Ruthins which made sense at the time but now the 9s have moved in as well so there obviously was space as nothing moved out for the 9s to come in.

But Chester only runs 2 vehicles on the 2 and the 6 only uses 2 vehicles to move the 2 wholey to Rock Ferry and the 6 back to Chester. 2 vehicles for 2 vehicles but Chester would come better off as 2 solos are smaller than 2 enviro 300s. At least that way, the 2s are more likely to be full gold. And the solos are an inconvenience to Rock Ferry as they have the 2 for the 6 and 1 for schools. If the 2 for the 6 moved out, surely that last 1 for the school could be dart or Enviro200 making more sense from a maintenance point of view as well.
