I've suggested this before but the only possibility is to extend the X3 to Wigan via Skelmersdale and make it limited stop. Yes, I know, that ain't going to happen.

there are many gold Services that run frequent enough up & down the country,most are normal stopping services as well:

Service 1 Aldershot > Camberley > Old Dean Every 10 Mins
Service 7 Scone > Perth > Hillend Every 10 Mins
Service 10 Lower Tuffley > Gloucester > Cheltenham Every 10 Mins
Service 51 Selsey > Chichester Every 10-15 Mins
Service 94 Cheltenham > Gloucester Every 10 Mins
Service G1 Warwick > Leamington Spa > South Farm Every 8-10 Mins
Service S1 Oxford > Witney > Carterton Every 10 Mins

how about Blacon`s? or seen as there are gold Midi`s on order,Service 16? one service i`ve always thought would be good as gold in Manchester is X57,Every Half Hour Limited Stop & one of the more long-distance routes Manchester operate.Its a shame that Stagecoach didnt get all of X34 with wigan,as that would of been a good route to go Gold
