It also looks like there's been limited services along Weaste Ln for a number of years, whether they extended into Cheshire East, or not. Have Warrington council now decided those aren't needed, or is there an alternative?
It's Statham that I'm most concerned about not having a service.
It remains to be seen what will happen with other improvements that have been introduced, such as the evening extensions of service 3 to Hollins Green.
Incidentally, the PDF timetable for the 9 and 9A on the website still points to the PDF timetable for the 8, 8A and 9B :/

Seems the plan is to reroute the Lymm Shopper 191 service, and to look at introducing a demand responsive service.

I notice the 5 timetable includes a morning extension to St Ambrose, Hale Barns. The 280 also includes a slightly later extension but obviously it's a minibus so won't be able to carry everyone. (There's still the 88 and 288 as well for pupils who aren't starting in Bowdon).
In the afternoon I notice neither the 5 or 280 include a journey originating at St Ambrose, but the 287 does.

Warrington will operate the 62 and 62A from 3rd November 2025.
The new timetable is available on the website (interestingly, the old timetable from 2023 is also available...)

Routes 17 and 20/21 looked to be mixed single/double-deck when I was in Warrington on Monday.
There are more Volvo BZL single-decks in the 1000 series than any other length from the looks of things.

That's right, and 16/16A are also mixed.
It also depends on the day of the week, time of day, whether it's school holidays, etc.
But these are the most common public service routes to find deckers on.

Is there a reason why some of Warrington's Own's BZL singles are numbered in the 9000s? Just seems odd when the rest of the fleet is numbered in 1000s range.

It's to do with the length of the vehicle
10xx - 10.8m
12xx - 12m
20xx - deckers
90xx - 9m
RE: Warrington's Own Buses - EDB325 - Yesterday 18:55
10xx : 49
12xx : 19
20xx : 33
90xx : 4
320-4 are still in use on schools services, while 226 is a trainer, making a total strength of 111 vehicles.

I wonder how long the B9s are expected to stay and if a few more BZL DDs will be ordered if funding can be found.
