I remember Liverbus naming a bus after the late Andy Wade but other than that I have heard many tales of rather poor attitudes to long serving staff so it's nice to see Warrington showing some compassion and respect like that. |

RE: Warrington's Own Buses
Out of interest should Halton Borough Transport disappear could Warrington's Own Buses easily take over Halton's 62 Halebank-Sandymoor/Warrington service? |

RE: Warrington's Own Buses
what you would most probably find is that any routes that other operators already compete on wouldn't get covered but may accept haltons tickets on there service until there expiry date. i think it would only be services that have no alternative service or competition on that would be covered on a short term basis and if there's a decent profit margin then may decide to keep it going long term commercially. Schools will be covered within 24hrs of closure and just the likes of the 61 , 27 etc taken on with the college services which seem to do well. |
