I remember when First withdrew the original X8. I told them at the time there remained a demand for a faster bus between Chester & Liverpool but was told, somewhat patronisingly, that they knew best. Stagecoach seem to be doing exactly the same.

I personally think this is a big mistake withdrawing the X8, especially as they have built the route up, I used to use the X8 quite a lot as it was cheaper than driving over to Liverpool with tunnel fares and parking charges, but won't use the X1 as its not as direct as the X8.

Its going to be interesting to see what happens when the 1 is extended to Chester Business Park will Arriva sit back and allow Stagecoach on to their patch
