Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

[R557 ABA]

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
My personal view is that I would have expected them to extend the X2 service hourly to Liverpool, continuing on from Ellesmere Port Bus Station to Cheshire Oaks, then onto the Motorway and on towards Liverpool via a similar route - to me that sounds much more logical than the X8.

That said, I also agree that there is a slight missed opportunity with the X8 not stopping at Birkenhead, looking back to the days of the X11, that used to leave Birkenhead with a standing load bound for Chester in the early days when it was half-hourly.

I do however agree that the service is hardly an express and I for one will continue to use the 1 and 2 services, and perhaps the X8 will shift some of the tourists that visit Cheshire Oaks onto that route rather than clogging up seats with their shopping.
