Hence I doubt they will try to take passengers. Just RF need the Enviro200s for 41/42. That means 16 need something and it makes sense for those to have darts over E200MMCs

By extending the service to Chester they kind of are in direct competition, even if the route differs. And if they're using brand new buses with added perks for the passengers then they have the upper hand, even if the route takes longer. Obviously, not in malice, but they are ending up in competition and getting the foot in the door more for possible extension/expansion in the area
