The 50/50A/26 could easily be operated from it and it's not far to Birtley for the Solos or Bournmoor for the 4. X1 less so but it's no different to the 21, X21, 25, 28 and so on if you shut CLS.
Wasn't there rumours for a new depot merging them years ago anyway or am I making that up.
Up on the Drum industrial estate was the last rumours I heard, not sure what happened though.
Be a sad day if Chester ever did close, it's where 'The Northern' all began. Not many old school depots left.
