Stagecoach need to look at contingency's though as there service flagship service 1 could be hurt if this is going to be a continuing problem.

I think an interim measure to have the buses enter at the lower roundabout and exit at the upper roundabout maybe better , but McAthurGlen need to look long and hard at what they could do with Cheshire West and Chester Council with regards to a complete replacement of those dreaded roundabout with road signals .

Have you ever tried to get through those roundabouts when there is complete gridlock its like trying to suck treacle through a straw.

I know the traffic isn't Stagecoach's fault but what is their fault is that they dont take steps to try and resolve the issue. Maybe some market research needs to go on to see where all the people are going to as it could be a viable bus journey and 70 people on a bus takes up a lot less space than 50-60 cars.

I think maybe the parking around the back of VUE should be better advertised and SC should do a free or very cheap ticket if travelling in the 'Oaks zone' like Marks and Spencers - Colliseum - C Oaks. Like GHA did free but that was a bit silly. SC could bring a lot of people onto the buses especially around the Oaks.

It could also help Stagecoach if they looked at doing a deal with Merseyrail so that if people go by train to EPort then there is a discount to COaks or a through train ticket where SC gets some sort of money for being a part of it. Like Chester Zoo. There is so much potential for SC but everything is too much about money.
