Your last comment is questionable. Certainly where Network Warrington is concerned anyway. Some of the changes that have implemented have certainly been interesting. Eye watering fare increases that left a lot of passengers extremely angry, network changes that again met with not the best reaction and of course a bail out by the council to keep them afloat. Yet now their in a position to offer discounted fares on the very services they see so much as a bit of minor competition.

I don't think Fairbrothers are in a position to be part of a 'war'. Arriva is as you say most likely but Carnt see it and even Stagecoach look quite contempt with what they have. But who knows...
