Is there a android version?

When was P411 SWC converted to open top and renumbered 149 ? It was outside the depot today (7 Aug.), looking very smart. And what will it be used for ?

Spring time last year it was de-roofed (Chris Cuthill) so Warrington gave it an open-top conversion instead of repairing or scrapping the bus.
So far it has been used on Warrington Wolves parades, The X18 Guilliver's World Service, and Private Hire

I bet Coachways will be pleased with the cutting back of the 5!
As with the Leigh routes, some aspects of the service will be better on Sundays than on weekdays soon!
One good thing is that it makes it possible for deckers to appear on the 5 once again if there is one going spare, depending on how the running boards are done.*
* Obviously this wouldn't work if boards then go on to do route 5 again at some point in the peak -- it's hard to see whether that will happen or not. In fact, I have no idea what the 5 might interwork with, since travelling to Warburton and back should take around 1h12 minutes (if no layover is given at Warburton), and it's hard to see what would fit with that snugly. Maybe just lots of layover will be allocated and vehicles will stick on route 5 pretty much all day.
RE: WBT Network Warrington - SF07 - 08/08/2013 18:56
Certainly going to be bad news for cross-county travellers with the reductions to the 5 to/from Altrincham and the 19 and 28/28A to/from Leigh. Buses to/from Leigh will reduce from 4 buses per hour to 1, while no off-peak buses to/from Altrincham.
RE: WBT Network Warrington - Valandil - 08/08/2013 20:23
I hope that the 1 and 2 are well co-ordinated to give a service every 10 minutes to Westy during the daytime.
Frequency reductions might be an extra reason people switch to the Fairbrothers competition.
In other news, this is about Arriva's services 6/7a, but I thought I'd post as those from Warrington might be interested or affected. The timetable is to be altered on 1st September, allowing quite a bit more journey time on Sundays, loads more layover in evenings and on Sundays, and an extra vehicle evenings and Sundays:

RE: WBT Network Warrington - M60lad - 09/08/2013 06:25
I must say that I'm been a regular user of 5 from Altrincham for quite a bit now and in some ways I can understand where Network Warrington are coming from in cutting back 5 to Warburton as some of the journeys from Altrincham can leave virtually empty while others can leave with only about 5 or 6 people on and even then it can be Lymm before other passengers start getting on
The only time 5 is actually busy from Altrincham is usually at School finishing time, odd thing is though quite a number of journeys can be busy coming into Altrincham.
As for Warrington Coachways its going to be interesting as they only run once an hour from Altrincham-Warburton
