If other block the roundabout as there is no space on the back wall, the council or Network Warrington are there within minutes yet somehow a blind eye is turned to the 6 Network Warrington buses sat at the back for well over 2 hours. You also have to look. I was speaking to drivers of other bus companies and they have all said if any company does anything wrong, they are told off by the council. Yet the council doesn't update the national bus and coach database except for Network Warringtons timetables nor do they update physical timetables except for Network Warrington, they don't enforce any rules against Network Warrington. All the councillors who would normally push for these sort of things to be sorted are 'owners' of Network Warrington (they own it but as soon as they get voted out etc, it is in their contract they must give up their part of the company and pass it onto whoever takes their place). It is all very corrupt.

Isn't Network Warrington an arms-length subsidiary of Warrington Council? If this is the case, why would the council promote a rival company? You never see Tesco's promoting Sainsbury's or any other supermarket chain. There is nothing corrupt about this practice; it's the way it used to be before deregulation.
