I have long wondered whether Halton might consider competing with the 110 and make it a full Warrington-Halton circular, but I doubt that's it

A lot of alterations have come through for Halton yesterday, notably the following:


PC0001376/2 - HALTON BOROUGH TRANSPORT LTD T/A HALTON TRANSPORT, MOOR LANE, WIDNES, WA8 7AF
Variation Accepted: Operating between Weates Close, Barneston Road and Warrington, Bus Station given service number 62/63 effective from 03-Sep-2012. To amend Route and Timetable.

PC0001376/3 - HALTON BOROUGH TRANSPORT LTD T/A HALTON TRANSPORT, MOOR LANE, WIDNES, WA8 7AF
Variation Accepted: Operating between Liverpool One Bus Station and Runcorn, Murdishaw given service number 61 effective from 03-Sep-2012. To amend Route and Timetable.

PC0001376/123 - HALTON BOROUGH TRANSPORT LTD T/A HALTON TRANSPORT, MOOR LANE, WIDNES, WA8 7AF
Variation Accepted: Operating between Widnes Road and Liverpool, Lord Street/Queen Square given service number 14/14A effective from 03-Sep-2012. To amend Timetable.

PC0001376/124 - HALTON BOROUGH TRANSPORT LTD T/A HALTON TRANSPORT, MOOR LANE, WIDNES, WA8 7AF
Variation Accepted: Operating between Widnes Road and Hale Bank given service number 2/2A effective from 03-Sep-2012. To amend Timetable.

Now the 2 and 14 you may remember has already been amended to have certain journies to serve The Hive along with Tesco, these amendments this time around are timetable only.
The 61 and 62 however have had route and timetable amended. My theory would be that both of these routes have been amended to have certain journies serve The Hive or have certain or all journies serve their normal route via Tesco. The amendments to the 2 and 14 may be just taking away certain journies from The Hive or Tesco so that the bus stops there do not get over crowded with buses if my theory proves correct.
Just my guess though! I struggle to see what other amendments can be made to the route in Widnes Town Centre.
