I remember JPT in Manchester claiming they had the biggest number of likes of any bus company in the uk then when things started to go wrong and the complaints started apearing about buses not turning up or drivers using phones while driving they were simply deleted.

Having read about Tates travel in South Yorkshire and the fact they were hauled before the TC last summer following a worrying 'letter of complaint' sent to the TC perhaps somebody should inform them of these missing services, and I notice the GHACoaches member of this forum has been very quiet of late.

If this is a chop of 30 minutes off the route, likely to involve the removal of the Northwich to Higher Wincham section of the 46's route, then the variations would all make sense, as then the 8 and 10C would no longer interwork (in order for the 5/35/6/8/46 to continue to provide a service every 10 minutes to Stockton Heath), and this would then have knock-on effects on the 11's and 12's so that they and the 10C continue to provide a half-hourly service to Lower Walton in both directions.

You make some good points regarding the changes to take place from the 4th April.

I cannot see that NW will depart 30 mins earlier or later than now as that would mean on the half hour which would have them leaving the Warrington Interchange five minutes after GHA Coaches! To my mind the part of the journey from Northwich to Higher Wincham has probably proven to be hardly worthwhile and I would not be at all surprised if this section of the route was withdrawn.

Do you think NW might be considering returning to the 45 route?

I take your point with regard to a ten minute service to and from Stockton Heath although with GHA and Halton Transport both supplying services on the Stockton Heath route perhaps the ten minute NW service doesn't have to be strictly adhered to.
