If they made the 12/13 extend to Eport, that would work with 2 buses as it has a lot longer layover in Chester. Infact, I don't know why they picked the X4. The 12/13 would be much better timing wise.

I definitely agree that more time is preferable, and extending the 12/13 would on the face of it look like a better option (other things being equal) as from memory I think they have around 20 minutes between runs at Chester. 1hr20mins would be a good amount of time to get to Ellesmere Port and back with some layover too. I wonder why they didn't do that and chose the X4 instead.
