Looks like the suggestion is the 110/329 interwork (both half hourly) and the 360/X30 interwork (both hourly)

I know its probably the only way of doing things but I'm not to certain whether interworking X30 with 360 is actually a good idea considering how unreliable X30 can be at times due to displaced traffic going through Frodsham and Helsby when something happens on M56.

Having had a look the X30 again is not exactly every hour either, & few X30s call at Daresbury Science & Technology Park too which adds to journey time, & yeah the X30 can be unreliable as well.

Interworking might actually help that situation, as it might be possible to get almost a clock face timetable for the X30 again.

Something like:
XX30 Chester
XZ00 Warrington (arrive)
XZ05 Warrington (depart)
XZ55 Wigan

XX00 Wigan
XX52 Warrington (arrive)
XX57 Warrington (depart)
XZ20 Chester

Interworking needs more than 5 minutes at Warrington especially from Chester as the M56 has the knack of making the service unreliable at times of pertubation . Moving delays across the North West isnt the best idea.

Looks like Runcorn are in the process of repainting all vehicles as 3050, 3053, 3078 and more recently 3161 have all been repainted, 3161 noticeably no longer has the Journey Mark stripe
