They are still runniing merseytravel schools contracts.

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
I would imagine that Stagecoach will keep running the schools contracts - there's no basis for handing them back.

Not sure when they're up for retender, but even if Stagecoach tell Merseytravel they don't wish to keep operating them, it will probably be the new academic year before we see anything happen....

Remember also though that there will be plenty of Olys coming out of Chorley over summer which could be utilised on MY schools....

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Looking at the ticket options it looks more likely that you would have to pay again from roundabout Ellesmere Port as not sure Liverpool & Wirral would include Ellesmere Port, however, I wouldnt be certain and I'm sure somebody will clear this up. Either way these tickets are good value with the only downside being that you have less choice of services to use compared to Arriva. But then you pay more with them for similar tickets probably to reflect the greater options.

That is quick as it took a month to bring the new tickets out in Wigan.

Would it be covered by the "Dayrider Plus Adult" (See Stagecoach website)?
