Merseyside Dayriders are valid on ALL services except S1, 605, Park and Ride and City Sightseeing. You could use it to Ruthin when the X1,1,2 was ran by Stagecoach. At the time of them making the maps, all buses were under tender. They told me that was the reason why route 9 isn't on any maps because they don't know how long they have it for so didn't want to make a map then all the timetables be wrong a month later. The C56 is somewhat the same as that keeps chopping and changing.

Some news on the C56. The route NO LONGER serves Eagles Meadow. It all got changed so it stops at Wrexham Tesco, Market Street then as normal round to the bus station. On the return it serves the bus station, Market Street and then straight to Rhosnesni. Very silly move not serving Eagles Meadow, you always pick up. Might just be one or two pass holders but it helps up passenger numbers.
From next week the C56 will run two big circles. It will run as normal to Farndon but then turn right past the primary school, right just before Churton, down to the main road, turn right. Turn right into Holt, turn around at The Cross then as normal. This is due to the bridge closing for 14 weeks. I think timetables are being amended. A registration was put in for the bridge closure date but i'm unsure if this is just the route change.

Also the C56 is due to start linking with route 5 shortly and it will be renumbered the 5A (last C bus to be withdrawn). I don't know if the bus will still go through Bruera or go straight down to Aldford but it is due to be linked every 90 minutes.

Also some news on the G3. The routing is now being changed to run via Shelley Road and Saxon Way instead of via Blacon Ave. The Hartford Way/Bumpers Lane loop will be dropped.
