Details of the new timetables from the 29th March are available here:

I particularly like service 62A as a replacement of the extension of Arriva's 329 -- though it isn't so useful that it departs Daresbury at 2 minutes to the hour (something like 10 past would be more useful for most workers), but you can't have everything.

On the QBP front, the 17 will operate every 20 minutes MS daytime, there will be no 17A, and Arriva/HT will alternate, each running every 40 minutes.
Interesting to note that the 17B is curtailed only to run as far as Green Oaks in Widnes -- I think this is a move to improve punctuality as times used to be a bit tight.

Service 9 is being reduced to just 3 round trips per day (MF).

The 27 gets an evening service until after 10pm -- and every half-hour at that!

Quite surprising that very few 61's will do the full length Murdishaw to Liverpool, and most of those are on Sundays.

These are just some things of particular note; there is lots more on the service changes page.
