RE: Warrington's Own Buses
Having looked what's happening at the moment in the news not only Manchester are going down the franchise route but liverpool and city region also..warrington buses are very well placed for expansion should the franchises happen as they are in the middle ..could be interesting times ahead

All operators need to be careful. Over-expansion has proved to be a route to doom for rather a lot. Resources can get stretched too far, reliability starts to suffer, etc.

I think the last few days we have been using the blue/silver Enviro 200’s.

Ah that's great to know, thanks - so I guess that the 31 won't actually run off / onto the Penketh High run then, as I'm sure a bigger vehicle would be required for that.

Do you know what the 31 does interwork with?
Much appreciated.

Seems there's been a lot of complaints about the reliability of the CAT9 and the excuse which has been given is the roadworks which have been taking place near John Deanes college: https://www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/che...e-17782055

Although, that doesn't explain the problem with the 16:20, 16:30 and 16:40 Cheshire CAT departures from Warrington Interchange where the vehicles for both the 16:30 CAT6 and 16:40 CAT5A can both arrive before the vehicle for the 16:20 CAT9 (all of which arrive on a different service to the one they go out as.) Last Thursday the 16:20 CAT9 and 16:40 CAT5A were running one behind the other out of Warrington with the CAT5A reaching Stockton Heath first.
