IT would also maybe allow them to do some schools in that area too. I think it does need to be in Chester for the early Blacons though there is talk that Stagecoach are pulling Blacons for Arriva due to an agreement about the 2. It could be false but that is the roumer flying around.

I really cannot see stagecoach giving up the blacons as their main routes in Chester,

I am told it is part of an agreement. Arriva would come off 2 if Stagecoach gave up Blacons. Unsure about the truth but that is what I have heard.

Maybe not Blacons but the 15s are changing in January, to every 30 minutes, so maybe that will just be Arriva instead of both.

As I say I can't see that, to start with arriva wasnt making the money on the two and as part of shake up where they had to lose vehicles it made sense to drop that, plus the partnership is co-ordinated between Cheshire west and Chester, stagecoach and arriva not merseytravel which the 2 was under i would imagine CWaC would have to be in agreement I would be very surprised if these rumours are true.

It doesn't mention anything about stagecoach withdrawing their service on the 15/15A so I think it's just down to the reduced service rather than the reduced operators

Any idea why the changes to the service 15 in Chester ?

17839 out on 38s very rare for the duel door trident to be in public service

Arriva's service 2 was withdrawn a few months back, but did use to be part of a QBP with Stagecoach:

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
The Blacons and the 1/2 are two different QBPs, the suggestion here is that Arriva came off the 1/2 QBP with some agreement Stagecoach will come off the Blacons, from what I can understand.
