If this is true, there will be at least another one or two buses work here. There is talk of other service enhancements but it all depends on buses availability and if they are just rumours or genuine proposals. If what I hear is true, Chester will gain another 10 bus workings. I don't know how soon (I would assume Septembers changes (Merseytravel change date when all the buses come off their summer timetables)) but 10 workins is quite a bit.

It has also been reported that there are no buses yet in the new depot, it is locked up with loads of containers in the yard. From tomorrow (Monday) all drivers are signing on at Waverton depot though so I am wondering if there will be shuttles to and from The Rink for a few days while buses are moved slowly. Nothing confirmed on when buses will move, that will be a wait and see but they don't have long and if Waverton is still in a state... Who knows how it will all work.

As it stands it is hoped to move the vehicles to Waverton on Thursday of this week
