Halton Transport

RE: Halton Transport
I was thinking it might be due to Runcorn bridge situation, just like Halton did with their 61s and 14s last year actually, to improve punctuality in the Halton area, drop some Liverpool end journeys.
Sure I read somewhere last week that 2 roundabouts near the bridge are closing from next week until the bridge opens next year, so I wouldnt be surprised if it is something to do with that. I have lost count how many times I have seen 2 79Cs behind each other over the last few months, the punctuality for the route is absolutely chronic during the day, so rather than add more buses again which costs money and needs more drivers, lengthen the journey time and drop the frequency. The problem with the bridge and surrounding areas is it is so unpredictable even without roadworks. Would love to see how the X1 gets around the roadworks and keeps to timetable!
