Hence the "transfer" of the Enviro 300s from Stevenage to Runcorn - which is just a figment of someone's misguided imagination.

The same fantasist appears to be also reinstating the long dead / stored ex Arriva Cymru MPDs and allocating them to Southern Counties.

'Mondays to Fridays and Saturdays frequency is reduced to every 40 minutes. Times are changed.
Sunday journeys are unchanged.'

Thanks for that Arriva & Halton Council are not showing any updates but looking at this and the X1 it gives around a 20 min service in Runcorn from Halton Hospital & The High St
Plus all the services that started in Widnes all start in Runcorn

Looking at the new 61 time table the running times as been increased by about 20 minutes owing to late running,
Find this a bit odd the late running as the route still been worked mostly by ex Halton drivers this plus side now all the early departures toward Liverpool start at Halton Hospital with the first been just after 0500hrs

JXW operated for Halton Transport as a demonstrator in July 2013, mainly on the 62 route which then served Weates Close and Bancroft Road rather than Halebank

Perhaps late running was one of the reasons for Halton being called to a Public Enquiry?
