Straight road really after turning left at Trebaron. Follow your nose and you end up at the East Lancs, Golbourne, Abram, Platt Bridge. Ince confuses me, bear left onto a slip road before Lidl. Then straight.
Good luck with the town centre's one way system.
I think a through service would have been a better option but at least Newton is now (or will shortly be) an interchange, so the environment for changing vehicles is probably better these days.

It will be a through service to Wigan via Earlestown...
Do Network Warrington normally bid for TfGM contracts, or does this signal a new strategy for them?

How will that work then? An extension of the 24E to avoid the 22/22E going back on itself?
Five of the new Enviros are to have the standard livery.

A driver tells me the route will run upto Earlestown, back to Winwick Road via Burtonwood then upto Newton-le-willows and to Wigan that way. Massive route taking about 1h 15-1h20 I think the driver said.
He is trained up and on the late rota so I can't see why he would be wrong.
That's interesting - I had imagined it going Warrington -> Winwick -> Burtonwood -> Collins Green -> Earlestown -> Newton-le-Willows -> Wigan, so that it wouldn't have to go all the way up Newton Road / Mill Lane between Winwick and Newton-le-Willows twice, but at least they will be covering every bus stop covered on the daytime 360 by doing it that way.

I thought either that or Warrington - Winwick - Newton - Earlestown - Newton - Wigan. It seems a weird route. There can't be anyone at those Winwick-Newton stops during the day let alone at night, there are hardly any houses or anything there for people. Weird way of running things but I suppose that is Network Warringtons way of working recently.
Anyone noticed 188 and 152 on 16 dupes and bay blocking duties this week? They are determined to get Fairbrothers out.
