Not going to go on about the right's and wrong's of Halton's collapse as it's been well discussed here. What is interesting and perhaps concerning is how quickly they did collapse and cease trading and if that can happen to Halton it can certainly happen to the remaining independent operators even if they have steady contracts rather than commercial services too.

Arriva have also won big on the Picton Road corridor too have the 79's been busier this week by any chance?

From people I have spoken to, there has not really been any increase in the passengers as a result, in fact, people are mentioning buses being quieter.

I think the uncertainty has got to some people but also I think those who used Halton because they didn't like Arriva have simply found another way to get around.
