Arriva Buses Wales - Chester Depot

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Chester Depot
Arriva are being very very brave with their 3 changes. Not only are they diverting into Saltney (as I have previously mentioned) but are now also serving Nant Mwar in Buckley (Stagecoach old SP now route 5). This now means the 3 doesn't stop in Buckley town centre at all (the main point at which people get on the bus. Especially considering Jubilee Road is exclusively served by the 3). I can see Townlynx doing fantastically well off these changes. Not only do they almost have Penyffordd to themselves, they are now also the only ones there from Buckley Town Centre.

So, 3 is dropping in frequency, serving 2 of Stagecoach' areas and not serving main stops. Who else thinks in the next round of changes the 3 is being cut? I certainly do!

Also not serving areas at school times, they are having a laugh!!! Another way to reduce profits!

If they times the 3 properly, they could have 2 school contracts off Flintshire (Broughton - Saltney and Broughton - Chester Catholic). 2 school contracts if you can timetable things properly. That would increase the viability a lot and save the council some money. It is almost as if Arriva want Hawarden to fail with how they are going.
