Warrington's Own Buses
RE: Warrington's Own Buses
Will extra vehicles need to be acquired to cover the extra PVR? would assume so from September at least.

It's good to be able to confirm the exact routes that they will take.

The separate ones are also useful if you want to use a section only covered by one route e.g. Altrincham to Manchester Airport, or Lymm or Sale.

The extended X5 and Cat5 mostly just have 5 minutes off between their 3-hour runs, so no surprise that some vehicles have been getting a bit behind time.

While it isn't necessarily true just because it's on BusTimes, this X5 appears to have terminated at the cemetery:

There's no tracking for a 09:52 to Warrington, even one starting short.

The same vehicle later tracked on the 12:30 Runcorn to Warrington 62 service, but only from Moore Six Acre Lane 40 minutes behind schedule. It appears CH04 CAT started that journey on time from Runcorn but only got as far as Moore.

I think something may have happened in the Hale Barns area today. Time keeping on certain X5 and D&G 88 journeys seems to have gone out of the window.

So of course the Versa Hybrids have all now been decommissioned, but it makes me wonder how long they will keep the diesel ones for? I have heard rumours these are to also go soon, however I'm not sure how true these are!

It's not on the cards at the minute but plans can always change.

Great to get more deckers, but again just wonder why they can't hold on until all the new vehicles are delivered next year.

Announcement about withdrawal of 62(A):
https://www.warringtonsownbuses.co.uk/62...withdrawal

Could just be an attempt to get increased funding.
Or perhaps another operator with lower costs will take it on, as has happened with the Saturday service.
