Not much point taking on Network Warrington currently as Fairbrothers are running on just about every service worth going on For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly!

RE: Link Network (MD Bus & Coach)
No point taking on Network Warrington as they have the monopoly. Companies have tried and failed. Fairbrother's do ok but loadings are far less than on Network Warrington's services. As a result of the network Network Warrington have and the frequency, people buy day tickets and only use their service. If Fairbrother's were to run more services across the network ultimately taking on Network warrington, then we may see a bit of a difference but as the way things stand smaller operators struggle against them.. |

Large operators like to squeeze in every route into every minute hence causing delays and upset to passengers who rely on the service being on time. You are customed to expecting services to be crammed into each other. Yes sure i can fit the 110 into the 329 but why? If there is a delay and had a knock on effect for an hour thats going to cost money and louse faith in my customers. My approach is simple... On time Affordable fares No confusing ticket offers Hello Thankyou Good morning Good bye And a smile. Oh and clean buses. |

Just wondering, can you solve our puzzle about the frequency of the 329? I was thinking that it would need to be every 30 minutes and use 3 vehicles to avoid idling for long periods of time. |

But there are plans for another service which will fit in between certain time periods. That's further down the line though as we would like to see how this does first. |

To my surprise I just saw MX05 ELJ heading out of New Broughton, Wrexham with passengers aboard, just 'Link Network' displaying on the display. Wrexham Transport (Flickr) |
