Strangely they already call in Bromborough in the peak hour so they must think there is a need .

It adds about 3-4 minutes onto the running time compared to bypassing. While there is demand for such a service, is it worth delaying everyone else. The X8 has already had a substantial amount of time put on it since it first started. With a lot of passengers using the X8 for the longer distance, you would start losing those customers to the train.

If the stops were on the main road, I think Stagecoach would stop all X8s there. It's the diversion and the traffic which costs more in time than it will likely make in revenue.
