Since the timetable change, I think it's been a daily occurrence for an Enviro 400 to be out on the 47.

I hadn't noticed any daily occurrence of there being a decker on the 47, the only difference I've noticed is the 47 has generally been operated by 3 different buses, rather than 1 bus. Although, on checking the 12th Feb was the last day all services were operated by single deckers.

I notice on Monday 303 was on the 3rd 47 run, not the 1st like it was on Tuesday.

This morning Cadet 75 is on the first run.

Yeah - it could well be all change again when there are more service changes on Monday.

I guess some of these might never return to previous service levels.

10/10A I don't think are returning. It was funded by S106 funds from the housing development. This money I believe has run out.

11/12 it implies that they are going to half hourly since it says that buses on Knutsford Road will run every 15 mins. That isn't possible is it unless the 1/2/11/12 all go half hourly.

That's possible and it's what was happening Monday to Friday before more recent timetable changes - the 1 and 2 ran every 15 minutes along Knutsford Road to Westy, with alternate journeys doing the full route and the other journeys terminating short at Westy.
The 11 and 12 were each hourly, running along Farrell Street and omitting Knutsford Road.
Whether or not this is what it goes back to remains to be seen though.

RE: Warrington's Own Buses
Bustimes.org is showing no trips on 11 or 12 from tomorrow (8th March), with the 1/2 each running every 15 minutes along Knutsford Road to Westy and with alternate journeys doing the full loop on the 1/2.
I'm sure the 1/2 are more profitable than the 11/12, but it would be a shame if the 11/12 have gone completely.

RE: Warrington's Own Buses
It turns out that the 11 and 12 are running hourly each, via Farrell Street instead of Knutsford Road on Monday-Friday.
The short journeys on the 1 run via Richmond Road in Latchford/Westy.
The new timetable for the 1/2/11/12, finally available on the company website, seems pretty opaque though and I can imagine it leaving a few people scratching their heads.

According to Bustimes.org, one of the Enviro 400s has again made it out on the 47 to High Legh on the first day of the new timetables.
Unfortunately though, that website seems to have got that 47 and the school service 47 mixed up, with some kind of bizarre combined timetable appearing.

Second 47 run (the one to High Legh only) had a decker running it today! The first Knutsford run was one of the Enviro 200 MMCs and the third 47 run was an older Enviro 200.

It has happened before, e.g. 8th February, but it seems that now it's usually the recently acquired Enviro 200s out on the morning and afternoon journeys on the 47, to interwork with the Altrincham school runs, and a decker usually makes it out on the 47 to High Legh in the middle of the day.
