It's been tried before, and running up Bewsey Road hasn't worked. They should've just matched NW's increase in frequency on the main 16 with an offer on fares.

Call me naive, but I think this 16T might do okay if they make a big thing about it being faster *and* cheaper into Warrington.
If I lived in the area, I know I'd use it.

Two buses are currently being listed on eBay,

The centro seems to be parked up in link networks yard.
One of fairbrothers red solos was working link networks 329 service this morning too.
RE: Fairbrother's of Warrington - RSTurbo50 - 07/02/2018 08:02
Seems to be a lot of money for both or is this the going rate?
RE: Fairbrother's of Warrington - iMarkeh - 12/02/2018 14:33
Weird how at Warrington Bus Station there are no signs up saying that Fairbrothers have moved and most timetables not updated with the new 16T. Not good work by Warrington Council. I know their loyalties lie elsewhere but still, councils should be somewhat neutral and treat everyone the same by printing timetables if nothing else.
RE: Fairbrother's of Warrington - K10K11 - 12/02/2018 15:17
I've noticed Fairbrothers have resorted to sticking their own timetables up in the bus shelters round Bewsey (they are available in the travel office at the bus station as well!) And Traveline still haven't got the 16H or 16T listed.

Is this down to the council though is it yet again Fairbrothers lazy and relaxed attitude to it all?? Someone has mentioned that the information isn't available on travel line yet either so does make you wonder whether it's down to themselves. Are the timetables available online anywhere??

They're not on the official website or what I think is the official Facebook page. They are on one of Mr Fairbrothers own personal facebook accounts though:-
