As for point B the only reason them tickets exist is due to Fairbrothers competing on them routes
RE: WBT Network Warrington - T42 PVM - 07/08/2015 10:35
They are Weeklys
The Breezer is valid on the 16, 20 and 21 Services the Westy Way is valid on the 1 and 2 Services
RE: WBT Network Warrington - T42 PVM - 07/08/2015 10:41
The price rise is already in the local paper, i like how they point out that Network Warrington no longer have Facebook or Twitter and that Paying Passengers are only finding out at last moment.

To give an example, this is the route length of the 16 (one of the Breezer services):

Hardly surprising given the uproar last time they increased fares. Their attitude towards the increase's was shocking. Interestingly last time a number of people on Facebook suggested the council had insisted on the increases as it looked to recoup it's loan that it gave the company previously but who actually knows.
Out of interest how do NW's fares rack up against Halton and Rossendale?
Rossendale seem to serve a larger area yet generally thier fares seem quite resasonable.
It's perfect opportunity for Fairbrothers and GHA to really attack NW and give thier passengers a cheaper alternative.

A couple of examples, based on information available online on the operators' websites:
Day ticket
Halton: £3.80
Rosso: £4.70
Warrington: £5.95
Weekly ticket
Halton: £15.00 (may increase to £16.00)
Rosso: £20.00
Warrington: £25.50

I'm no fan of Deregulation or "bus wars", simoly because there has never been enough passengers to go round. And the competition we've had in GM has mostly been a case of incumbants undercutting "the orange bus" by as little as 5% and only on certain sections of routes. Once passengers realised the newcomers were very unreliable and had generally lower standards, the successor to GMT won out. But this is on a totally different scale.
There is a huge difference between having to make small increases to sustain a decent level and quality service and being plain greedy. These rises to me seem to represent the latter. I certainly feel lucky paying £13.50 for my Stagecoach weekly

The Rosso prices quoted are the NETWORK-WIDE Rover ticket, as Mayneway suggests covering a much wider geographical area.
Rosso also have their GMsaver ticket valid only in Greater Manchester (essentially covering services in Bury and Rochdale) which is probably more comparable with the NW ticket range. These are £4 (1 day), £12 (7 days) and £40 for 28 days - http://www.rossobus.com/season-tickets.shtml
