RE: Halton Transport
Iv heard that Halton have registered the same as Network Warringtons 32A. Any truth in this?

It is a bit of a pain that there is currently no service between Widnes and Warrington at night (unless you count the 7 between Farnworth and Warrington), so it would be very welcome.

EDIT: Note that the 'effective date' is 31st August whereas the other changes from Halton at that time will be on 30th August -- seems to rule out a Sunday service.

Operating two journeys early evening, so i've been told

I would be shocked if Arriva withdraw from route 110, as the daytime service runs every 20 minutes. On the Saturday just after Christmas I let 3 go by, so that I was sure to ride one with a different moquette from my incoming 82a. Anyway, it was reasonably well loaded.

RE: Halton Transport
The irregular journeys theory was always a lot more likely than Arriva withdrawing so a couple of evening journeys sounds about right.

RE: Halton Transport
Aint Halton tried the 110 in the Evening in the past and it never word out? If so i cant see it working out this time as after 7pm Warrington is dead

RE: Halton Transport
I wouldn't say Warrington is dead after 7pm but can't imagine Haltons loadings to be busy later on..

RE: Halton Transport
The 110 could do with a later evening service, as there are a few people I know that get stuck on the 7 or the train after the 110 stops. Can't see it competing as Arriva pretty much own that whole corridor.

I may still be coming to Liverpool on the August Bank Holiday. I therefore wonder whether the Scania Omnicities run on Sundays - I would expect on route 14a - and whether they have all been refurbished yet?

At least one out tonight.

From Traveline North West, it seems that this is correct, with departures from Warrington at 1850 and 1920.
Looks like these will run off the last 62 and 62A when they arrive at Warrington, as these two don't return via the 62(A) route to Halton, so these 110's would effectively be in-service positioning runs.
