You've changed tack a bit since changing employer :P

I'm referring to GHA and the vehicles they use not Fairbrothers....
RE: WBT Network Warrington - RSTurbo50 - 26/03/2015 12:16
How is the £5.50 Day Rover disgusting? Or the £10 Westy Way Weekly Ticket or the £11 Breezer ticket. Family Day Rover at £11 allowing two adults and two children unlimited travel all day long....taking into account places such as Altrincham, Leigh and Earlestown..
Seems good value to me...

I think it was more the way they did it last year. It seemed at the time that they were scaling back services and hiking up fares at the same time. I have to say their approach to customer complaints/comments regarding the fare increases at the time was appalling.
I think the proof will be in the pudding. Obviously as an employee you will know if Network Warrington are at all worried about GHA's impending assualt.

Especially compared to the area covered by Arriva's day ticket and the price of that.
RE: WBT Network Warrington - RSTurbo50 - 26/03/2015 13:32
The company aren't particularly worried by GHA, if they start expanding into the town things may well change. £5.50 isn't too bad In my opinion especially if your travelling to Altrincham or Leigh and back. Even using the bus three or four times a day, £5.50 isn't bad value.

Easy, Network Warrington cover little ground when you think how much Arrivas £5 Ticket covers and them cheap Weeklys are only on routes Fairbrothers compete on, the Normal Weekly Price is £25? When you consider for a little more you can get a Stagecoach Weekly that covers Merseyside, Chester, Cumbria and Lancs along with Wigan, Bolton, Newcastle and Dumfries.
RE: WBT Network Warrington - RSTurbo50 - 26/03/2015 13:44
Yes but Arriva can afford to do that as they are a multi national company so it's unfair to make a comparison in that way. Network Warrington is a FAR smaller outfit and offer good value in my opinion...
RE: WBT Network Warrington - RSTurbo50 - 26/03/2015 14:15
Well if people don't want to pay the fares it's quite simple and various options are available. Walk, get a lift, use another company or get a taxi. If the prices are too much for passengers, then don't use the NW buses..
RE: WBT Network Warrington - T42 PVM - 26/03/2015 15:35
And that exactly what people are doing otherwise these GHA and Fairbrother Services would not be working out
