Rob Jones is OD at Merseyside and South Lancs and a top, top man he is as well.

Regarding the points being made by others about the X8, it needs to be thought of from an operator's point of view rather than a bus enthusiast's. It is clearly a bid to attract customers away from the 1 and 2 between Chester and Liverpool and points inbetween, enhancing Stagecoach's share of the revenue generated along the corridor as a whole thanks to it not being part of the QP.

The underlying part of it that is more interesting is why would Stagecoach be 'competing' with itself? There might be a school of thought out there that suggests that they aren't totally happy with the QP and that might be the driver behind the X8...
