But there are quite a few differences, including journeys removed, renumbered/rerouted/retimed, the 62C being withdrawn - it's far from an exact duplicate of Halton's service between Warrington and Halebank.

It does all seem a bit odd but you can half understand what they are trying to do.

All that aside, has anyone noticed that eastbound towards Warrington, the 11:07 from Runcorn Old Town and 11:54 from Shopping City to Warrington 'normal' trips literally duplicate the new Halebank trips.

This 62 timetable has a lot of tweaking needing doing to it in the next few weeks as there is no way duplicating your own trips and the 30 minute layovers in Halebank can be sustained long term.

Based on WOBs normal policies of interworking literally everything, I wouldn't be surprised if, in a few weeks when the sort the timetable out, they start running the services in such a way that the buses go off and do the college runs.
