Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots
This Saturday will be a sad day with the 9/X9 going. It's a shame P&O Lloyd are taking over Wepre or I think Stagecoach may have thought about taking it on with vastly increased fares (in line with other local services). Chesters PVR only decreases by 1 though as the 109 and 209 will still be kept. Seems a bit odd for a small depot like Chester to have so many school routes and no 'between school' routes (Obviously the 23 and 41C started recently to run with the 16 school extra but other than that, all routes run straight through). On the plus side, the X9/9 will free up 3 drivers (though the 109 will still need drivers from somewhere. The 209 is already out on a standard duty) which should help the driver shortage slightly.
