Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

[Metroline1511]

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
I take your points above about why the X1 could not accommodate double-deckers along the Runcorn Busway, and why a Runcorn - Altrincham route would be unlikely to be viable through low demand.

Coming back to Chester & Wirral, and I can see a partial remedy. In Manchester, Ashton recently lost routes 168/69 to sharston and Hyde Road route 197 to Stockport.

So, routes 471/72 could move Rock Ferry to Gillmoss, route 10a Gillmoss to Wigan, route 34 Wigan to Hyde Road, and route 201 or 204 Hyde Road to Ashton. Simples, as the Meerkats would say!
