Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

[Raawwwrrr!]

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
I completely disagree about 'pointlessly' serving Ellesmere Port, it's one of the busiest stops on the 1 and 2 service. Lately the X2 tends to leave there more often than not with a full load, and a large number of passengers board there for Chester City Centre. However... few people use the service before Bromborough due to the better and closer shopping facilities of Croft Retail Park and the Town Centre. It will also steal some passengers off GHA's 36 between the bus station, rail station and Cheshire Oaks.

I'm pretty surprised no-one seems to have called up on the fact of it serving Hoole Road or the Rail Station? coming from Hoole Road to serve the station will consume a fair few minutes just on the traffic light sequence alone, especially if like Cheshire Oaks, the service calls in the same direction and loops around, towards Chester it will have to complete an almost loop and a half. Even if the service did call at Ellesmere Port, the journey could still probably be done in 60 minutes running direct from the Oaks to Chester, via the hospital instead of the zoo and bache like the 1.
