For the first few weeks of operation the X2 also carried fresh air but, based on the repeated capital investment, that has become a big earner for Stagecoach.

Yesterday however, I saw 3 or 4 in the evening peak which were carrying 10-12+ people in both directions. Also, laminated timetables and maps have appeared in bus stops along the route.

It may take a while but hopefully this will do very well.

I really hope it does as I’d like to see more Stagecoach services in Widnes. Does anyone know if bus stops are in place along Barrows Green Lane or is it hail and ride?
