Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

[iMarkeh]

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
The new number 9 timetable looked very interesting. Extra trip from Chester in the morning and evening. Also all Chester trips will nip into deeside industrial estate. Timing changes as well. The morning trip competes with the DB4 which I find interesting leaving Chester just 5 minutes before. (I notice about 5 people regularly board the DB4 at Chester bus station hence competition). From April, if the first DB4 wasn't a return trip, I would make a lot more sense for the 9 to run as a DB4 to the industrial estate and then continue as a normal 9 from there.
Or, again if the first DB4 wasn't a round trip, the SP dupe could run to Deeside and then on the SP to the school.

2 buses running the same place within 5 minutes of eachother and there is a dead run to the same area. Surprised Stagecoach aren't trying to reduce dead millage especially from April with the depot move. Things will be a bit further away
