Welcome to the forum. You have posted successfully, and that's about all there is to it!

Just wondering how you managed to obtain the 46's new timetable, and do you know if any other new timetables are available?

I have to say that the replies I have had from Network Warrington's Operations Manager have been very courteous, well-written and considered.
Having said that, the response I had from the 'Travel Shop' address one time wasn't nearly so insightful and didn't really answer the question asked.

Warrington bus station isn't that small.

My husband and I use the bus station several times a day and certainly, if there is a problem, it is one which all the bus companies contribute to not just Network Warrington. It may appear that they do because of course they run more buses from the Interchange than anyone else.

My husband obtained copies of the 46 and 16/16A timetables commencing the 1st September two or three weeks ago from Network Warrington. No doubt they will be on the NW website within the next week or so and available in the travel shop at the interchange. As previously mentioned my husband and I have always found Network Warrington very approachable unlike some other operators operating out of Warrington.
