New 329 Timetable is now online, starts to early/finishes to early for anyone working the typical 9 - 5 shift but its running about 7 mins ahead of Arriva so could get some people who are just paying single fare or OAPs http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/travellin...02017).pdf For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly!

It's not that bad, with an 0858 arrival into Warrington and a last 1705 departure, it's not too bad if anyone works on/near the Winwick Road side of the Town Centre. Wish them well with this. |

They should put less time in Warrington and run a service in St Helens. Just means the bus isnt inactive for so long. I wonder how Arriva will take it as they are not a fan of competition are they... Good luck. I hope Link get bigger and run more buses. Good to see an independant going up against the 'big guys' |

With the Depot being near the St Helens end, that time maybe used for driver/vehicle swaps as and when required throughout the day. |

I dont think Warrington town centre is linked to the Omega park. All the suburban routes heading into there then run the work bus out. Just something to ease the dead time. A bus makes no money sat on stand. It makes a little heading round. Just something small which would help people with no transport while driver has spare time. Even just making £10 profit. It is money not made sat in Warrington or St Helens bus station. |
