I think the two issues are seperate but with a similar theme.

Most the changes are cuts to evening and Sunday services, which lead me to believe they aren't making enough money during the day Monday to Saturday to cover the costs of evening/Sunday services.

Separately, they are closing Chester, I assume because they need to move the 21 to Gateshead for electricity and the remaing routes do not cover the cost of keeping the depot open.

I don't think a sale is likely, but I wouldn't be surprised if staff at depot level are wondering what the future holds at Percy Main and  Washington. I'd also say the same for Stagecoach at Slatyford actually. All old facilities with new technologies incoming in the near future.
