Fairbrothers had it on a plate really after the Network Warrington fare increases and they ignored crys from locals to launch some kind of decent alternative, it's very sad that it's taken an outside company to spot the potential and launch some kind of decent competition.

Looks like Fairbrothers will be changing their 16X just ten days after the GHA 16 is brought in.
I wonder if they managed to get hold of GHA's plans for the 16 or if they just used intuition as to how to react to all of the competition.

If we think that GHA's 16 will probably run out at around 05 and 35 past the hour (5 minutes before NW who currently run at 10, 25, 40 and 55 past and also at times convenient to interwork with their amended 45), then Fairbrothers might be better running their 16X out at 20 and 50 past.
But that's a big 'if' and might not hold.
