Can't see why the 1 & 2 won't change at the depot tbh

I think arriva will still change at M53 Ford to Liverpool and market street the other way

Is it just me or is providing 8 year old vehicles for services that are the biggest break for First RF in years, just a complete joke and indicative of First's intention to bail out at the earliest opportunity. Yet again First can't compete with Arriva, the majority of whose vehicles will be on 58 and 59 plates with even newer vehicles to come over the next year. And here's the irony - now there is no competition, so they don't need to compete and the passengers won't have the choice anymore.

RE: First Chester & Wirral
Let's see how long before the QBP goes and the service return back to normal
If rotala or stagecoach get Rock Ferry and Chester better buses will arrive so route will get better

RE: First Chester & Wirral
I thought the 04/54-reg Geminis from West Yorkshire will be temporary. I have seen on the FM thread that Bolton and Oldham are due to gain some post-Olympics buses. I presume these will be 12-reg Volvo B9TLs, and could displace some 58/09-reg examples to the QBP. Mind you, with Chester and Rock Ferry on the disposals hitlist, First may prefer to leave older buses there and retain newer buses at their permanent locations.
