Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

[Turbostar19]

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Personally, I very much doubt that Stagecoach will directly compete against Arriva. Neither company would do well in any scrap over routes in & around Chester.

As others have suggested, I expect Stagecoach will expand by going for any contracts that come up, such as the DB's. They tried to bolster the local services around Chester when they first took over there, but some of that has been rolled back.

The only other avenue I can think of for Stagecoach would be if Arriva decided to withdraw from any of their depots in the area, which would allow Stagecoach to take on additional routes. Can't see this happening any time soon though.
