Also interesting to see Howards winning a Warrington public bus contract, after all the owners posts about the council making it impossible for anyone other than WOB to win work. I wonder if that's down to Howards offering to run it for a lower subsidy, or whether WOB want to avoid increasing their PVR?

Yes, though Warrington's Own Buses might not see it in quite the same way and might want to use the revised 47 as a reason to get rid of their Cat6 in time, as the Cat6 has already been cut so much as to be of little use to most potential passengers now, and it runs at almost the same times as the 47 on a lot of trips.
I hope that doesn't happen though and that there is no further reduction in service.

Worth noting that the 62/62A finishing too will mean a drop in PVR for Warrington.

Details and timetables for new route 24 as well as other increases in service available here:
https://www.warringtonsownbuses.co.uk/ex...th-october

There is a glaring error in the date given: these services won't start from "Monday 25th October" because that doesn't exist, and I believe it should say "Monday 25th September" ... which is next week!

The website seems to massage the date of the news story too, saying that this story was published 3 days ago, when this is not the case.

Timetable for the 24 finally available on websites such as Traveline and Bustimes:
https://bustimes.org/services/24-birchwo...-birchwood

It's good to be able to see the full route taken on the map.

The 24 seems to have a lot of time off between runs (half an hour off, half an hour on, etc.)
It also runs at similar times to the 28, arriving at Birchwood Station at XX:45 ...

Timetables for the other new routes starting in Warrington from Monday still don't seem to be available on Traveline and Bustimes etc. yet though (routes 10, B29, 31, 31A, 33, new 47).
