The X2 is largely down to the roadworks in the Runcorn area, which has a knock on effect throughout the day. The 2 seems to struggle to maintain timings as well & one whistled past me at Backford today as 'Out of Service', presumably to make up some of the 25 minute defecit!

The idea of routing the 2 around Bebington certainly seems to have caught on as there are quite a few travelling on the new parts of the route. However, it's notable that quite a few people (myself included) who sometimes used the 2 through from Liverpool are now shunning it completely on the northern part of the route, as it's normally quicker to get a 1 or X8.

Chester is a nightmare for bus services at the moment , with Frodsham street closed ,brook lane bridge closed buses having to detour, plus you have the roadworks at moston traffic lights and those mentioned it's little wonder really why there are issues, from Chesters end the council don't seam to give two hoots in causing major disruption, they just seam hell bent on annoying the residents and passenger alike, I really feel for the drivers who endure no end of grief from passengers .
