I've spotted 80 81 91and 93 is there some reason or are they getting 14 of these buses I seen a green one. Near lunts heath but unshow if it was Halton

The green one that you saw will have been one of Hatton's as they've got a few Omnicities now for Schools

A revised network map is available for when the changes take place:

It's great that this has been done promptly, as I know that other operators often seem to take a long time about updating things like this.
14C seems to be missing, but I'll let them off since 14, 14A and 14B are all present and correct :P
A number of infrequent services also do not appear (6, 14F, 17B, 61A, 61D, 61E, 870), but this probably isn't a problem.

17B won't appear as it is operated by HTL Buses for Merseytravel (Hatton's do one Sunday AM trip also), whereas Halton only operate the 17/A.

Ah thanks for that: I didn't notice the 'Huy' above all 17B's on Halton's timetable.

The 61E is a Bluecoat school service which the morning service interworks with the 687 Belle Vale Primary school service (running dead from Childwall to Netherley) which then in turn starts a 14 service from Belle Vale Shopping Centre.

The 14F although is a public service, is actually ran as a school service for Bluecoat students.

But as said, their infrequency will explain all!

Finally caught up with one of the Scania OmniCitys yesterday. Had a ride on YT09 BKO (88) from the city to Belle Vale, it wasn't too bad of a vehicle, had comfortable seating and was adequately warm. The newer engine and transmission is personally less favourable than the earlier OmniCitys I've previously sampled elsewhere.

Check out the new HT website: massive improvement!

Excellent - always thought that their website was a bit dated and cluttered but it now looks modern and simple to use. However, access to a fleet-list no longer exits which is a shame.

Bus 22 took part in Bus Driver Of The Year finals in Blackpool Yesterday(14/09/14) and its driver came 23rd out of 121
