This even includes a surprise evening services on the 11 and 12 ... who would have seen that coming!
It's great to have an evening service on 4, 28A and 17 (Eastbound), as well as the 3 being extended to Hollins Green to connect with Go North West service 100 to Manchester.

The enhancements are due to Warrington Council being successful in their bid for 'bus back' funding from the government. It's quite ironic that Cheshire East didn't put as much thought into their bid and didn't get anything from it, and the borough has actually seen a cutback as a result of the Warrington enhancement leaving a couple of villages with no scheduled bus service at all. While Cheshire East could use the £10,000 they were providing for the 47 elsewhere it would probably end up with an even less useful service if they tried to draw up an ITT with a budget of £10,000.
