I also wouldn't be surprised if the X5 got extended to Warrington or Runcorn if it attracts a lot of passengers.

If the admins say I can share the route, I will but as they posted on another thread about waiting for an official post, I will leave it with them. To say Halton could be in trouble is a MASSIVE understatement. I know Stagecoach wanted to buy them out a few times. Is this just a different way of going about it? Taking the passengers and keep doing so until Halton eventually give up as they can't sustain competition?
