Warrington's Own Buses

RE: WBT Network Warrington
On a completely different subject, I wonder whether the upcoming changes to the 16(A) will mean a redesign of running boards or if they will just keep the same patterns as before but just have some of the layover in a different place.
Ten minutes between a 16(A) and a 14/15 would be an awful lot ... and in my opinion it would create a better balance of layover if they used this opportunity to spread the layover to some of the Stockton Heath services which all currently only get 5 minutes between runs, e.g. doing something like this if it's possible:

6[10-05] -> 16A[13-43] -> 35o5i[50-55] -> 46[00-15] -> 15[23-05]
And separately:
6[40-35] -> 16A[43-13] -> 5o35i[20-25] -> 8o10Ci[30-32] -> 10Co8i[40-45] -> 15[53-35]

Here, XX[yy-zz] means service XX leaving town at yy past the hour and returning at zz past the hour.
10Co8i means a service 10C outbound followed by a service 8 inbound.

This would still be far from perfect as the 5 and 35 would still only have 5 minutes' layover before picking up the following 8/46, but would be an improvement.

Under this arrangement, the 3/4A and the 1[10-36] and 2[40-08] would be 'decoupled' from the 15/16A and the 14/16 would still only interwork with each other.
