RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots
While the 2 does have some really good links, I think the money is now in the 1 because of the 2 going round the houses so much. Generally in and out of Liverpool it can be lightly loaded. Birkenhead it picks up but then from Birkenhead to Bebington, people can use the 38 so I am unsure why they want the 2 to stay Croft - Liverpool unless something is planned for the 38 to move it away from the area. From Chester - Ellesmere Port, the best thing they could do would be to bring back route 3. Route 3 could run in 1 of a few forms. 1. Routed as the 2 to Overpool but then run through Rivacre (Rossmore Road West would be unserved) 2. Routed as a 2 to Ellesmere Port and then run as a 7 round Rivacre (this would leave Overpool Road and Rossmore Road West unserved though) 3. Routes literally as the 3 used to be via Princess Road (leaving part of Overpool Road and all of Rossmore Road West unserved) With Mr Jones being at First for so long, could this be part of the plan as he will have worked at First when the 3 ran so might be wanting to bring that back. The 22 is an interesting one. Could Stagecoach have also seen the demand from the old Avon 22 and is the 82 picking up from Greasby and Irby as that could also be a contributor to the decision. If the 22 does get re-routed, I wonder if the 80 and 82 will go back to the old routes which will give the 38 more layover time as every trip would run onto the circular having time before and after the trip. If I were Merseytravel, I would withdraw the 38 extension funding and would be looking at bringing back the old 145/146 (one or the other on an hourly frequency. Also not serving Port Causeway & Dock Road and instead going round Bromborough) as well and stop the 38 being so long. For 1 extra bus, the catchment area is a lot higher and create faster journeys for people. |
