RE: WBT Network Warrington
Details of Network Warrington running to Wigan is a bit confusing on TfGM's website. The service changes pages mentions the 360 evening/Sunday service being replaced by services 22/22E, while the timetable on their site lists the service as 22A.

But it seems to me that Warrington is better than quite a lot of other companies for having more realistic timetables with layover and recovery time being built in. For instance, the Northwich runs are currently mostly *meant to* get 19 minutes' stand time at Northwich before heading back, assuming they run to time, and the Altrinchams are currently meant to have more than 10 minutes at Altrincham (though this will change with the new Cheshire Cats). Having said that, I would prefer having a few minutes' recovery time at particular places en route instead of lumping it all into a huge chunk of time at the outer termini, e.g. it would be nice for the Altrinchams to have a few minutes' recovery time in Lymm to bring late-running vehicles back on schedule. |

I think strangely it would be a more useful service if it was Lymm- Warrington Warrington - Knutsford Knutsford - Warrington Warrington - Knutsford Knutsford - Warrington Warrington - Lymm While it would be fewer services for High Legh it would give people living there the choice of 3 hours in Knutsford (which I think is a more sensible amount of time to spend in Knutsford than almost 5 hours) or 3 hours in Warrington, plus the option of a return trip from Warrington to Knutsford or one from Lymm to Knutsford at times when ENCTS holders won't be charged. |

I didn't post that correctly. I've corrected it now, I meant roughly the same service as now but with extensions to Knutsford and a Lymm-Warrington movement because it seems the bus is the same vehicle as used for Lymm High School services. It would not have the extra High Legh-Warrington return working but I think despite that the service could be more useful as it would allow a shopping trip to either Warrington or Knutsford from there - 5 hours in somewhere the side of Knutsford is excessive. I agree that Warrington is more likely to get shoppers than Knutsford but as only a weekday off-peak service they'll be a limit to how many people can make use of it. |

Both Cheshire West and Cheshire East councils just give links to the Network Warrington site and mention that the timetables are changing, which may not be much but is more than Warrington BC do on their site. |
