It would be doubtful that stagecoach would accept the ENCTS as it's a standard sightseeing service rather then a standard route with an opentop bus, and the current Chester tour isn't exactly attracting younger adults due to the nature of the city is mainly historical, so it's a way of taking in money from a depot which isn't too profitable.

I do think that is a better state of affairs to have both depots working it , so as to alleviate dead mileage at the start and end of the day .

How is the 2 split up at Stagecoach , is that a single depot operation ?
