Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

[E400]

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
They don't own bus stops but they surely can't be seen to be doing anything wrong by actually providing a timetable for the public service that they run - it benefits both themselves and the passengers. You'll notice I mentioned the 1 and 2 because this is such a drastic change - not just a timetable adjustment of a few minutes either way of the old times.

I was on the 2 this morning and a few people thought the driver was on a diversion. They didn't do anything until it was evident that the bus was going the complete wrong way to what they'd expected. I'd imagine this is going to continue. Not to mention the flack drivers will get on the 1 between Port Sunlight and Birkenhead for the late running of the 2s - of course passengers will be expecting them to show and when they don't they'll assume they're late. You wouldn't even guess the route now completely by-passes this area.

And why would a driver complain of being offered overtime to do an absolute one-off because Merseytravel can't keep their end of the bargain? Surely they'd see it as an extra few hours pay for running around in a company car to tape temporary timetables up for the benefit of their customers and their employer? If it was a frequent thing and Stagecoach was responsible for timetables then yes they should have their own dedicated staff, but I'd class this as a pretty urgent matter which justifies action.
