Speaking speculatively here but could Warrington be willing to give up the 22 (kind of having the attitude that it Mtrav are taking the tendered part, the rest of the 22 isn't viable on it's own so MTrav might as well take the lot) on the basis that they know they will get the 329/360 from Arriva?

I thought some trips on the 329 were funded too, though far from all of them.

I guess there must be some perceived value in keeping the 322 (current 22) as one long route, which definitely can have advantages for passengers and keeps things more stable, though long routes like this can also possibly be confusing.
