Warrington's Own Buses

RE: Warrington's Own Buses
With the 5A, I'm guessing it would be interworked with other CAT routes, possibly among others.
Just have to wait and see the route too, as it might go through Stockton Heath, even perhaps the Cobbs Estate.
I do agree that it's a massive step backwards having to change buses and pay again (in both directions), especially on an hourly frequency.
The X5 has been too good to be true in the long term.

I also agree that it's got to the stage where lots of routes would probably be best not usually interworking, like 13, 14, 15, 19, 22, 25, 32.
CAT routes can interwork with each other, but it remains to be seen what will happen with them anyway once all the yellow electric buses are here, as perhaps there will be no new dedicated CAT livery etc.
19 and 28 might be able to just interwork with each other if the timetable is revised, but if not the 19 could be standalone and only the 28 interwork (as often happens currently).

For the 22 though, it might be too long for a driver to drive for about 6 hours doing back-to-back 22s, but just one 3-hour run might be too short before taking a break, and so having a couple of short routes before/after a long 22 run might be to help with that.
Incidentally, I wish the frequency of the 22 could be increased, with hourly shorts as far as Earlestown.
Higher frequencies would be very welcome for other routes too, like 25.

Interworking has been good for enthusiasts, who can get unusual vehicles cropping up on all kinds of different routes, but with all vehicles being standardized yellow soon, even that won't matter anyway.
