Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
The statement on the Stagecoach website, although accurate, could be a bit misleading.

Stagecoach say that they will be increasing the frequency their buses operate on service 2 from every 40 minutes to every 30 minutes.

Whilst true, this of course means that the overall service frequency of route two is being reduced from every 20 minutes, to every 30 minutes.

That probably answers the question of where the extra Stagecoach buses are coming from, as the two spare gold vehicles at Rock Ferry should suffice. It does however mean that it won't be possible to inter-work services 1 & 2 except possibly at the start/end of each day.

In all honesty, a 30 minute frequency is probably adequate for route 2, especially as Stagecoach now also operate service 6 in Ellesmere Port.

Personally, I would like to see the 2 operate a little later into the evening (to say around 19:30), but I won't hold my breath for anything so dramatic!
