There are some subsides being paid to Network Warrington for extending services east of Lymm so if someone else registers a service those subsides will stop and Network Warrington may cut the off-peak Altrincham extensions again (as they did when Warrington Coachways ran a service.)

As has been mentioned it was rumoured GHA would register a 35 service but it was also rumoured they would be acquiring a further two Metrocities for Warrington services. Their latest registrations suggest they will require 4 buses for Warrington services (they already have two Metrocities branded for Warrington services) even without running a new 35 service.
