RE: New Chester Bus Exchange
NatEx have only 1 stand though they need 2 as both morning and evening it happens where buses are timed close together. Also, more buses will run from the new exchange like the 3, 4, X4 and maybe more from Foregate Street meaning more routes. Chester isnt massive for NatEx. Most buses pick up less than 10 passengers i notice here. |

I wonder whether some such as route 1 to Wrexham and route X1 to Ruthin will serve it or avoid any bus station? I can also understand why Chester no longer needs its own coach station, if indeed it was ever really necessary. |

The 3,4,X4 will still be starting/terminating at the Railway Station as they always have same as the 1 from Wrexham all them service's are being re-routed to serve the Bus Station inbound and outbound as that is what i have been informed anyway the Railway Station is key for those Service's. |

RE: New Chester Bus Exchange
X1 I dont think will as Denbeighshire Council won't add funding to the route for it to go into the new exchange. The spare time in Chester is used for driver breaks so every minute counts to ensure they can drive for longer later on. As for Wrexham No 1. I was told by a friend that they are not meant to stop there but we will see in the near future. |

X1 to Mold & Ruthin will operate from Stand C which is one of the staggered 'passing' stops situated outside the horseshoe on Gorse Stacks. |
