These timings have seem to have the feel of poaching Avon's passengers by running 10 minutes earlier from Chester and from Heswall operating 5 minutes ahead of Avon .

Is there really enough passengers for two operator's on this route really , certaintly Stagecoach dont seem to think Willaston and Mollington have enough passengers to consider operating via those locations .

Interesting times ahead

Totally agree on all points WB. For me though I'm disappointed that it's still going to meander around West Vale. The competitive edge is the speed from Heswall/Neston to Chester. This is still being sacrificed to some extent in favour of the Little Neston Twirlie passes.
