It sounds unlikey, perhaps a drop in frequency? ie. Hourly to Cronton, Hourly to Warrington?
However if it did cease to exist, it would have to serve either Widnes or Hough Green due to here being insufficient space for the bus to turn around and to layover awaiting departure time. Also there would be a lack of any bus route at all along South Lane entirely, and on Sundays (extending a large portion from Cronton to Penketh a distance of over 5 miles!).

Problems with turning around short:
Lunts Heath roundabout is unsuitable for layovers - The unused roundabout layover bus stop is inaccesable from the point at which the bus would turn
Derby Road roundabout has no layover space, unsuitable for bus to sit in road as it's often used by Trucks.
Cronton Village isn't the most suitable due to nature of the roads, but full size buses can and awkwardly do get around on the 26, depending on car parking.
Cronton College would be served due to patronage (One of the main reasons for increased frequency)
