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.

They are now available:

A new logo and name 'Warrington's own buses' seem to be being used, with a continuation of the animal theme - it looks like a wolf to chime in with Warrington Wolves.

Service 11A will be withdrawn meaning no service along Gainsborough Road / Loushers Lane after around 15:45.
Services 11 and 12 will no longer go around Centre Park (no need with the CATs around there being every 10 minutes) - I wonder if the 25 might now just interwork with the 11 for most of the day?

There is a new service 10A, which like the former 11A is peak times only, and is probably intended to capitalise on commuter traffic.

Service 14 (anticlockwise) will use Heath Road in Penketh, but service 15 (clockwise) will not.

It seems that the variations to service 25 won't have letters appended (probably because there are too many variations!)
This includes the early morning journey (former 25A), the now hourly journeys through Ryfields Village during the daytime (replacing service 25B) and the hourly journeys through Orange Grove during the daytime (replacing 23A).
As was already known, the Cinnamon Brow area will have a service every 30 minutes during the day, which is the same frequency as its evening service (26E and 27E).
It will now typically take 52 minutes to go from Gorse Covert into Warrington.

The latest in the saga about the service numbers to Wigan, it now looks like it actually is the 22A as this is what is on their own timetable.
This could be the beginning of the end of the 'E' suffixes for evening routes, as the evening service on the CC5 just seems to be called 'Cat5' too.

Not a big issue, but the service number errors on this page haven't been corrected - it still mentions a 12A and a 49.

Can't see the CAT timetables or the 47 one there.

Yes, they aren't there.
I think the difficulty is regarding their start dates.
For example, from my understanding, service 35 will be removed at end of service on 7th April, but the CATs will only be fully instated on 16th April.
What the transition period will look like, seems to be anyone's guess.

They've just posted a link to the TfGM site for the CAT5/5A service on their Twitter feed but no sign of other CAT timetables like the CAT9/9A serving Northwich.

Maybe it is being a bit hopeful, but I'm wondering if the CATs will be dealt with entirely separately, a bit like how Warrington's 'Connect 17' had its own website when it was launched (now http://www.connect17.com still redirects to the 17(A/C)/18(E) timetable).

‘Warrington’s own buses - the new name for network warrington’ <<< missed this amongst the changes planned for April!

Logo has 2 blue triangles with wolf emblem over the top. Not sure how to post link here, but you can view by clicking on the new timetable PDFs.

I'm guessing after the bank holiday they would start to arrive

The first bus has been painted in the base colours for the new livery: https://twitter.com/DavidJJory/status/97...6203117574
