This could be in line with what the other operators charge in Greater Manchester , in Merseyside its easier for the drivers to know just the one fare to keep the bus on the move .

The Fare was issued in the Warrington area and as it is £2:20 on the 7 in this area why is
there a difference

Posters have now started going up on Pulsars advertising "New Buses for the New Year". It's good to see Arriva publicising their investment in the 10/10A.

The 1.70 fare was introduced to compete a little with network warrington on the winwick road corridor between winwick church and the bus station.

Have noticed that most fare paying customers wait for a network bus on the 7 route into Wazza
and who can blame them

Its also called Network loyalty as well , don't forget in the distant past Arriva tried to take on Warrington Borough Transport and dint make any headway at all as the passengers didn't seem to be that much interested in what Arriva could offer them at the time .

I saw 4214 driving through the town centre earlier with it's rights hand headlights hanging off.
And on another note glad to see the 329 has moved to stand 3, it used to be chaos when the 352 & 329 were due within minutes of each other.

2993's smoking problem has now got worse - when it pulled away earlier on, it left a large cloud of greyish-black smoke behind which drifted across the road. Also, it doesn't sound quite right too.
