Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

[Turbostar]

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
As regards the X22, it probably makes money, but not enough margin for the larger operators (three of whom have tried). It isn't an easy route to make lots of money on as you either do what Stagecoach did, miss some of the population centres (Willaston) to run an hourly service with 2 vehicles, or try to serve everywhere by using more buses.

I note Avon's registration is a through Chester-West Kirby service which I think will help on utilisation & I would expect the new run to go via Williaston.

Suspect the 38 will get cut back in due course.
