Are there going to be stops on St. Oswalds Way for e.g. the 11?

I know this isn't technically about the bus station, but Frodsham Street has re-opened to buses today. Initially, only the City-Rail-Link will be using the new 'shared space', and is stopping at the old Stand D on Foregate St, now Stop 1.

I believe the Park and Ride services look set to be using Frodsham Street as well in the next few weeks, using the other available stops on Foregate Street.

I am not sure what the long term plan is for how many buses will be using Frodsham/Foregate Street, however, I do know that Love Street will be staying the same (one way only) for the time being.

If Frodsham Street is going to be a shared space , first and foremost you dont want it over-run with too many vehicles so limiting services using it is most important .

would have been better keeping frodsham street and foregate street pedestrianised,this shared space idea is accident waiting to happen

I understand but the way Chester is built instantly puts passengers off completely if they get dumped at the extremities of the city .

Experience elsewhere suggests otherwise.

I saw the new bus station last Wednesday. As it looks bigger than the current exchange I wonder whether it will be used by some additional services? I'm sure for example that National Express had a separate coach station, which I even used in 2002.

Additional services!
