Should've kept the X9 as it was years back, direct on the A55 to Chester bypassing the Business Park!

Forgot to post this one also photographed today was M&H Coaches Optare M920 Solo SR YJ62FZD operating former G.H.A Route 76.

Townlynx could operate more services if they slightly retimed the T1. I think it is silly the way it is timed. 15 minutes at Chester bus Exchange. If it only stopped for a minute or two and spent a minute or two at Foregate Street, they could just run round and round rather than wait for 35 minutes at Greenford. To me, it is just silly to have a bus wait around for so long. It would only save one bus but that is one bus for another service making more money.
