Cover the dead mileage and enhance the local bus service slightly but it has to be weighed up on whether it would cover it's costs. I am not 100% sure. The morning I think it would, the Arriva X30 carried one or two when they did the early trip (I think it was 2 years or so ago when it was proposed for Hawarden to run the X30. It never happened but it was very close to happening).

25 mins dead running isn't much though when you consider that Rock Ferry has 1 bus which runs dead to and 1 bus dead from Chester each day. Chester also used to have the dead run to Mold when they ran the Flintshire 5.

I was in Frodsham today at lunch time and the 48 was parked on the stop outside Morrison's with no driver on it as the Arriva X30 arrived from Chester just after 12.00 a Stagecoach driver got of it and walked over the the 48
