Some of the Cheshire Cats also cross into Cheshire East and others into Greater Manchester - there are many routes (run by Arriva, Diamond, D&G etc.) which use the same roads there ... will Warrington be putting their Cheshire Cat flags up there too, even in TfGM territory?

Will the Cat routes serve Cheshire East given the 47 isn't a Cat route and the Altrincham-Warrington route no longer includes Little Bollington? Cat9 will serve Cheshire West though.

I'm almost certain TfGM won't allow an operator to place their own branding on one of their bus stops. Apparently TfGM insist that all operators serving Greater Manchester have to pay them for the costs of producing a plain TfGM timetable for the route even if the operator produces their own timetables. That does at least prevent passengers having to pick up multiple leaflets for the same route if evening and/or Sunday services are run by a different operator to Mon-Sat daytime services, even if it doesn't allow operators to promote what features a Sapphire or a Cheshire Cat bus has.
