It does!
It looks much more well thought through than what you normally see from smaller companies, with extra running time given in the peaks, differences on Saturdays to account for different levels of traffic, and even a very early first journey.
Can't wait to jump on board!

And it's good to see the appearance of the original Crosville route number.

I see the C84 is going via Chester Bus Exchange as well...be much better than the 84

RE: Routemaster Buses Nantwich
For something going out the opposite side of Chester the Bus Exchange being the start or end of the journey could be a liability running time wise if it encounters traffic congestion.

That was the reason that Arriva pulled out of the bus station. To run a reliable service would require extra running time and a extra bus working. Most of Arriva's problems occurred at that part of the city.

So when the Gorse Stacks Bus Station eventually opens , it will be in a much better location for most of the services with the exception of the services running south of the city which would have to get around the ring road and its famous changing traffic light systems .
