Those kerbs look very square which means are not designed for left and right hand turns into and off the busway. |

It would improve links to Capita, reduce the duplication on the Expressway, stop the buses queuing as much on Chester Road between Capita and it would potentially increase passenger numbers slightly as then it might grab some passing trade off the 62. Multiple benefits to the change if the roads were changed slightly. The X30 could go down to Cadets/Pulsars only but they seem to like the gas buses on the X30. Whom is going to pay for this work to be done , i think there may be better things in the area to spend the money on unfortunately in this economic climate. |

Bit of a mixed bag on the ex Halton 61 this evening. I saw Sapphire branded 3139, Cadet 2490 and Pulsar 3001 (on loan from Laird St??) |
