I believe that whoever gets Rock Ferry will ultimately also get Chester.

If Stagecoach were to take over, I can't really see them running an outstation in Wrexham, especially when whoever takes over would be looking for ways to make the operations more profitable.

Once things are settled after the Games, probably beginning of October, I'm sure we'll know much more concrete plans by then.

My own thoughts are that Stagecoach staff sniffing around the depot and routes, driver rumours, knowledge that these depots are performing badly and being under-invested shouts a Stagecoach buyout.
