Also, does anyone have a list of the bus routes that depart from each stand in Warrington? I only need numbers 1-10. I know after that is basically all Network Warrington. I am just trying to see where there would be space for any expansion with Link in Warrington.

They used to have a couple of Renowns, but I am pretty sure these have gone.
Whenever they need other vehicles for public services, they borrow from Fairbrothers, as the two companies have quite a close connection.

I don't have the info on stands unfortunately, but one route which I think is underserved at the moment is the Warrington - Lymm - Altrincham service, which is always busy, but only gets one 5 per hour and one 35 per hour during the day (diverted away from the more profitable 5 route due to Councils' funding).
Warrington Coachways used to have their 37 and 38, which took a more direct route than the 5 and 35, meaning that they could operate there and back in 2 hours.

Another area is the Sankey Station / Lingley Green area, as around a decade ago this used to have four 29's, two 14's and two 15's per hour.
Now the 29 has gone completely, and the 14 and 15 have been re-routed and timed to depart within 1 minute of each other during the day! (14 departs at 25 and 55, and the 15 departs at 26 and 56).
