So far, I have seen Diamond and GNW put up timetables ready for increasing services with Transdevs timetables due to be out tomorrow.
Other companies were waiting for funding and therefore presumably some announcements tomorrow as the funding was announced on Friday or Saturday.

It also says drivers currently working will not be furloughed now. It doesn't state which services are being improved or to what level.
I hope it's the services which are going to see extra demand as a result of the changes coming in May. However, I wouldn't be surprised if commercial services don't return to a full service while some subsided routes see an enhanced service regardless of whether demand has gone up. I'm thinking of the 288 in particular with TfGM having successfully fought hard for extra money to support services but at the same time the 288 is still going to be without many of its usual passengers in June and even some of those who catch the 288 will have other alternatives e.g. it's not the only bus service between Hale Barns and Altrincham.

The first set of service changes for Stagecoach more to come
High Peak are changing the weekday timetables on the 61 and 199 from Monday.
It sounds like Warrington's Own Buses are the big one we are still awaiting news of any changes for. Based on their past performance I imagine we'll hear about any changes at 4:57pm on Friday.

Warrington did change their 62 earlier this month, without putting anything on their website about it, so I wondered if there were any other changes from then too - from what you say, I guess not.
