Eventually yes - but I'd be surprised if any Cadets are withdrawn this year with the extra services starting next month

Given the Cadets don't have quiet engines, are getting on and have limited leg room it would be surprising if new buses with a better than average interior didn't go down well.

From a drivers point of view, we love the Cadets. They are comfortable, spacious and give an excellent ride. Yes they are getting a bit tired now in fairness but it will be a sad day when the last example leaves the fleet...

WOB has quite a few schools buses so I would guess that where possible they will try to time things up to work with the schools.
I can't see the PVR going up much. Expecially now they have the Fairbrothers schools stuff as well as the Lymm High and new Merseytravel stuff.

Doesn't seem much point going competetive if they are going to have gaps at school time?

I don't see that happening personally

RE: Warrington's Own Buses
Currently the 32X interworks with the schools 265, so I can see the 33 interworking with the 265 after the changes.
Warrington themselves call it a "shopper bus", which would probably only operate between around 9:30 and 14:30.
Less certain, but one of the vehicles going to Halton Lea could possibly interwork with a 70 or a Priestley College run too, but we'll see.
