That way people from Dodleston and Kinnerton can get alternative Train or bus from Caergwle and get to Hope

That would be better and have less dead time. The issue is if Flintshire won't fund it for whatever reason, there is nothing you can do. All council's have funding cuts and with GHA gone, I think the tender prices will have risen a lot obviously with them always being the lowest. Stagecoach will ask for more money than GHA and they have won 2 Flintshire tenders already plus the 209. There will only be so much money. It depends on how busy the DBs were between those points and more precisely which trips. If the trips can be replaced by an X9, it makes sense to do that. The 9/X9 has some timetable amendments did but I doubt they are amending times for the DB withdrawal.
