We need more companies to be pro-active, as councils can't be relied on to do it any more - probably a contributary factor to the decline in bus usage in many areas.

Well across the border in Cheshire East we still have some 1990s Cheshire County Council yellow and black "Cheshire Bus" bus stops mixed in with the later blue Cheshire County Council bus stops - which have a sticker over them to cover up the Cheshire County Council branding plus an obsolete phone number. To top it off some bus stop signs are on roads which no longer have bus services and some roads which have bus services (which didn't used to) have no bus stop signs!

However, I can see some issues with the Cheshire Cat branded bus stops. Most notably if a different operator's service (or even a non-Cat service operated by Warrington's Own Buses) runs along the same road either now or in the future it may appear to some that non-Cat service doesn't stop there, especially to those who are used to using buses in big cities where one operator's service might stop at one bus stop and another operator's service might stop at another bus stop down the road.
