Will the new 42A service be operated fully by Percy Main or will this service be shared with Riverside?
Obviously Riverside do the current 353 service and looking at the new timetable for the 42A some of the journeys will start or finish completely at Kingston Park, mainly early morning or late evening, which would possibly incur quite a bit of dead mileage to/from Percy Main.

Is 9099 mechanically different from the Hybrids and B7s?
Two nights in a row I've used it and it's like the driver has just passed their test. Seems to stall and overrev at bus stops and the drivers seemed to struggle with manouvering. Ride is comfy but drivers don't appear confident, whipping out the laminate guides to read through.
I know from experience Chester drivers aren't the greatest and tend to drive like my dearly departed nan (particularly the older drivers) but surely it's not that much of a step change?

(10 Feb 2017, 7:20 am)Ambassador Sorry not sure about your point here?
I drive myself and I travel regularly on several different buses across the region.
I'm not a 20 goal a season premier league striker but I still comment on Harry Kanes performance

(10 Feb 2017, 8:02 am)GX03 My point being you quoted from your experience most Chester drivers drive like your dear departed man, I ask if you can drive a bus or are qualified to comment on how a bus is driven, a bus is a lot harder to drive than a car.

(10 Feb 2017, 9:31 am)James101 Does a person need to have a license to drive a bus to pass comment on how it feels to be a passenger on one? Especially when making a comparison between journeys made daily.New drivers are new drivers, and any driver of any classification can tell you that you learn how to drive after passing your test. You learn how to drive to pass the test, and then you develop the real life skills of doing it in your own way - unsupervised.
Websites such as TripAdvisor have millions of reviews submitted by travellers who don't know the first thing about running a hotel or restaurant. Should we discount all of those too?

(10 Feb 2017, 4:00 pm)S813 FVK It should be an MPD I believe - used to be MPD 556 anyway.Literally every time I've seen it's been a solo.
Solos I think should be allocated to the 29, 353 and 516 with MPDs on the ASDA Byker contract, 554, 13 and 33.
