It turn out that the 5 will only have an evening service between Warrington and Lymm (not continuing to Altrincham):

Probably this renumbering shows the end of the "Cheshire Cat" brand now that the electric vehicles have been arriving.
The replacement for the X5 between Lymm and Altrincham is only every 2 hours:

I caught one of the MMCs on the X5 yesterday and noticed the tickets now have yellow branding and on the back there's slogans like "We're electrifying! Powered by renewable energy" and "You aren't just using the bus, you're saving the planet"

Timetables for January 2025 have started becoming available, e.g. here is the timetable for the new 5A, which will run every hour Monday to Saturday, daytime only, via Latchford, taking about 60 minutes for a round trip:

(The PDFs on there are out-of-date).
Also available on Bustimes.org.

And skilfully timed at Lymm not to connect with the services from Altrincham.
I wonder how long either service will survive. ?
RE: Warrington's Own Buses - knutstransport - 12/12/2024 21:10
There is quite a bit of demand for Lymm to Warrington with Lymm not having a station. I guess most would use the fastest into Warrington, and then whichever service is next when returning.

Unless he was instructed to it looks like the driver of 12:19 Cat9 Northwich-Warrington service got a little lost yesterday:
https://bustimes.org/services/cat9-warrington-northwich-via-higher-wincham-los-3/vehicles?date=2024-12-28#journeys/666241132
Not to sure exactly what happened but quite a sizeable chunk of the route was missed with him not going back on route until he reached Stockton Heath.
I actually thought it was odd when I saw it go past Dog & Dart bus stop in Grappenhall.

12:16 Warrington to Northwich went almost the correct route but missed out three stops

I wonder if there was some obstruction/road closure and the driver of the 12:19 to Warrington made a mistake by turning right, instead of left and ended up on the A556 near Tabley?
The 11:50 D&G 89 bus appeared to follow its normal route through Lostock Gralam and Wincham: https://bustimes.org/services/89-northwich-knutsford/vehicles?date=2024-12-27&date=2024-12-28#journeys/666226483

So it seems there's a burst water main affecting the Cat9 through Wincham, but not affecting the 89

Rare opportunity to catch deckers out on service 24 these days.

Are the balance of the 18 plate MMCs all sold to Arriva?
