Either way these tickets are good value with the only downside being that you have less choice of services to use compared to Arriva. But then you pay more with them for similar tickets probably to reflect the greater options.

Would it be covered by the "Dayrider Plus Adult" (See Stagecoach website)?

Thanks, think I was looking at it from the normal one and not the plus one, looking again at cumbria's posting it was kind of obvious.

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
I've had a quick look at the Stagecoach Chester & Wirral site & whilst the new fares are listed, there is no map suggesting where the boundaries of each ticket are. On that basis, I am assuming that the boundaries are remaining the same for the time being (presumably until new ticket machines are installed on all the buses.

That of course means that this;

Old ticket:First Week Network adult @ £18.50
New ticket: Megarider Plus @ £13.50

Won't be valid on Stagecoach services beyond Liverpool.

However, given the current price of the Merseyside Satgecoach Megarider plus of £12.00, I can see the price of that ticket being increased soon & at that point, intergrated with the Wirral & Chester ticketing arrangements.

The 41/2 has been fully enviro operated for a good few days now, except yesterday when R874 ERE covered a round trip for an enviro but was then taken off around 10am.

As for the 38s, im not sure if its had a fully enviro operated day yet, it still seems to be whatever serviceable bus happens to be in the yard at the time!

I havnt seen any enviros slip onto the QBPs yet either.

One the night of takeover there where some 55 plate stagecoach darts parked up in RF. Are there any still parked at RF, or in use at RF? Or did where they just chester bound and left there temporarily?

There aren't any Stagecoach Darts at RF - only the ex First ones.

As far as I'm aware, (though I've not been past the Liverpool Road depot this week), all of the "04" reg Stagecoach Darts are currently at Chester working local services.
