RE: Warrington Coachways
I can actually see Warrington Coachways doing well on this route considering most if not all of their staff are friendly and reliable, I've travel on their 37/38 services off and on from Altrincham-Warrington and all their drivers I've come across are friendly and I've often had a chat with them

Thanks to St Helens Rider on the VOSA thread for the following about Coachways's 33 starting on Monday:

PC1031921/13 - WARRINGTON COACHWAYS LTD, ATHLONE RD, WARRINGTON, WA2 8JJ
Registration Accepted by SN
Starting Point: COLLINS GREEN, PENNY LANE
Finish Point: WARRINGTON BUS INTERCHANGE
Via: BURTONWOOD, WESTBROOK
Service Number: 33
Service Type: Normal Stopping
Effective Date: 28-JAN-2013
Other Details: Mondays to Saturdays except public holidays.

I agree that they will probably run the service well, but I don't think that passenger numbers are going to be anything to shout about, that's for sure!

I reckon they might interwork the 33 with the Altrincham routes, as one hour to Collins Green and back might be quite tight, going via Westbrook, Gemini and Burtonwood.
Coachways currently gives quite a lot of layover to drivers: I might be wrong, but they seem to keep allocate five vehicles during the day, so at pretty much any one time, one is on 37 outbound, one on 38 outbound, one on 37 inbound, one on 38 inbound, and one having a bit of a rest.

From what other users have posted on here, it seems like the 33 will be very similar to the 29's old leg between Collins Green and Westbrook during the day (perhaps not via Kingswood?), but will also continue to Warrington in evenings, using a route similar to the 18(a)'s Westbrook-Warrington leg.

They also run the 256 between Ashton and Garswood.
