That last trip I can see going straight onto Penketh High school runs.

It's to take people to/from the shops/library/doctor's/etc. at Honiton Square, the civic centre of Penketh.
I think there may be enough using the first morning service towards Honiton Square and the second morning service back from there, but I'm not too sure about that afternoon trip.
I'm also not sure it will take 15 minutes to get from Tannery Lane to Neville Crescent.

Yeah, I think that the morning trips could in theory also come off the Penketh High run.
The problem though is the type of bus - in the past there has been a clear preference for using smaller vehicles (such as Solos and Metroriders) around the Hall Nook estate in Penketh back when there was a full 31 service going around there into Warrington every 30 minutes and then later every hour. But bigger vehicles have also seen frequent use around there at points in the past too.
