Obviously you and I are never going to agree on anything so perhaps it is as well that we simply agree to disagree.

My husband and I travel several times a week on the 46 to Northwich.

Since the timetable changes so that the bus is scheduled to leave on the hour it is perfectly correct to say that the number 46 does carry a good many passengers on quite a few of its outward journeys. Unfortunately by the time it arrives at the Cat and Lion there are usually very few passengers remaining on board and there have been a number of journeys recently when the bus has travelled from the Cat and Lion through Comberbach, Anderton, Barnton, Winnington and has not picked up a single additional passenger. Or at least no more than the amount you are suggesting GHA pick up on their 16/16A!

What I will say about Network Warrington's drivers on the Northwich route (and this may well include your goodself); is that they deserve a medal for their efforts in keeping to the scheduled timetable in the fact of what at present are horrendous roadworks and traffic problems; not only on Wilderspool Causeway/Morrisons/Stockton Heath (as of course do the other services at this point); but also what are somewhat long delays in both directions through Winnington. My husband and I having already passed on these comments to Phil Pearson.
