The Chester depot dont forget is an amalgamation of services that used to be operated by Chester City Transport and Crosville if you look at the routes more closely you will know which ones where operated by whom , Stagecoach do have a good cross section of services now .

D158 FYM was indeed out today, with good loadings and getting quite a few photos taken.

Any pics of it cant find it anywhere?

With regards to the Park and Rides, is it a case of the driver collects passengers from a car park then dropping them at the destination and not picking passengers up on the way?

Yes thats the case for example pick up Sealand Road Site drop of at Terminus in Chester no other stops

tickets are issued on special vending machines at Park & Ride sites for £2 however when these are broke the driver then issues them but very rare

Very interesting. Sounds nice and easy for the driver then? What buses do they use on Park and Ride?

They use Park & Ride branded Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse's on 09 plates however other buses do sometimes get on this service.

Such as 34602 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/andysbuses13/9261149341/

Interesting. Out of interest, are the loads busy or do few people use the park and ride service?
