It's a council contract and will be specified to have something like 40 seats due to the Weaverham High pupils using the service. Other than the 07:36 Frodsham to Northwich and 15:05 Northwich to Frodsham there won't be that many passengers on the service so increasing the PVR won't be viable and they'll have to run the number of journeys the council specifies.

Presumably they can use the 2 route as a way of swapping the driver on the 48. It looks like there's already a 07:22 Frodsham to Chester on the 2 which doesn't have an inbound working, so presumably they run an empty to Frodsham for that.
