Ill confirm this with the Traffic office in Leeds in the new year. As it happens our revenue has not been affected by their actions but if they are playing with us it may be time to extend and do the Runcorn Leg of the 110 too, We promised to stay off that patch if they left us to it!

I've been thinking about this, and I wonder if they appeared to be operating at different times due to the strange quirks in the Arriva 110 Saturday timetable, which isn't the basic 'every 20 minutes'.
E.g. after departures from Warrington at 10, 30 and 50 past the hour for much of the day until 11:50, they then have a 12:15, 12:35, 13:00, and then operate at 00, 20 and 40 past the hour for much of the remainder of the day.
The situation is also different in the opposite direction.
