Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots
If Chester is going to take on the 1 or X1 solely then the Timetable would have to be heavily redrawn from what is operated at this moment as vehicles would be finishing at night at the opposite end of the route .

So probably earlier last services from Chester and consequently later last services to Chester.

I was told Rock Ferry is being retained by Stagecoach for 1/X1 and contracts such as Twelve Quays and the hope University buses also as a paint shop

The 1/X1 will be split better with Chester under a permit from Merseytravel so can operate into the franchised area

Does anyone know why Stagecoach buses do not appear on the buses map at present, please?

On bustimes, Rock ferry’s 471/472’s 38’s, 41’s 42’s, 16’s 16A’s and 17’s aren’t tracking but 1’s and X1’s are

Including some buses masquerading as being on 1/X1 (see what 15740 is up to).

Can see that the X1 frequency is being reduced back down to hourly later this month. Assume that the Chester workings are being dropped?

It could either be Chester’s workings being dropped or Chester and Rock Ferry will operate 2 workings each, if that is the case, Chester will need to get 2 or 3 deckers for it
