Loadings on stagecoachs 6 are awful, just a few regulars with weekly tickets and the odd pensioner, gha take the majority with their 6 running every 20 minutes. The X8 calling at Ellesmere Port traim station is to take some money off GHA as they are the only operator to serve that end of the Port. Stagecoach are worming their way in to the port though.
