RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Stagecoach have provided an outline of the timetable changes that will be made from 24 November 2013. All good news from what I can see;

Quote:1 Chester - Zoo - Cheshire Oaks - Ellesmere Port - New Ferry - Birkenhead - Liverpool

We are aware that buses on service 1 have been suffering a number of reliability issues, due to the busy nature of the route and congestion hotspots, such as Cheshire Oaks and Chester Zoo.

As a result, we will be revising the Monday to Saturday timetable to provide more time for buses to complete each journey and also to allow more time at each end of the route for our buses to layover and give a much better chance of starting each journey on time. There are also some minor improvements to late evening journeys.

We are pleased to announce that the Sunday and Bank Holiday timetable will be increased to operate every 20 minutes, so for the key parts of the day, buses will have the same frequency, seven days per week!

There are no changes to the associated services 2 or X2.



1 / 1A Chester - Blacon circular services

We are aware that the Sunday service is becoming increasingly busier and we are pleased to announce that the frequency will be increased to every 20 minutes during Sunday shopping hours, each way around the Blacon loop. This means a combined headway of a bus every 10 minutes during Sunday daytimes! The new journeys will be operated by Stagecoach, but are fully coordinated with the Arriva buses, which will also have timetable changes.

We are also pleased to announce that an additional two later buses will run at midnight and half-past midnight, on Friday and Saturday nights.



Customers should also note that service 15 Chester - Saughall will have some minor timetable changes from the same date to improve reliability. In addition, the 1835 hours journey from Chester will become a 15 and be operated by Arriva
