Also interesting to see Howards winning a Warrington public bus contract, after all the owners posts about the council making it impossible for anyone other than WOB to win work. I wonder if that's down to Howards offering to run it for a lower subsidy, or whether WOB want to avoid increasing their PVR?

Yes, though Warrington's Own Buses might not see it in quite the same way and might want to use the revised 47 as a reason to get rid of their Cat6 in time, as the Cat6 has already been cut so much as to be of little use to most potential passengers now, and it runs at almost the same times as the 47 on a lot of trips.
I hope that doesn't happen though and that there is no further reduction in service.

Worth noting that the 62/62A finishing too will mean a drop in PVR for Warrington.
