There are lots of tendered routes which take a lot of passengers. They would be good for Stagecoach but they are obviously a risk. There was a lack of willingness to take risks as for 4 years there has been no new commercial routes. Now there are 2 new routes at the same time (X5 and 23). I think there is a lot of routes Stagecoach could have if they plan it and work it properly. If they started advertising externally, they would have a lot more passengers on new routes. Spamming twitter won't work given no one will see the advert unless they are already signed up to the SC twitter. They need posters on bus stops, local newspaper ads (All the things they did on the X8).

It goes into Crows Nest supposedly. The 26 and 27 have the highest number of passenger numbers on tendered routes in Halton. If they play it right, there are a LOT of passengers using services around Crows Nest.
