Also, the last time Arriva, well it was British Bus North Western, tried to compete with what was then WBT, the public stayed loyal to WBT. If Arriva were to try and compete this time, which may require opening a new depot in the town, would the public be so loyal to Network Warrington?

If a new operator came into Warrington in strength, i doubt any passenger would remain loyal to Network Warrington and there £24 weekly ticket being a prime example of the greed of it`s fare scale,ok they have big debts,but they can`t justify that ticket price ,they don`t exactly go far beyond the town with a couple of exceptions, you can`t even get to Widnes and other quite nearby towns by using them,if Stagecoach or Arriva came in properly with a local network and a realistically priced local weekly ticket, say £14, NW would be calling in the administrators before very long. Fairbrothers and there pretty unattractive fleet of old bangers don`t have the resources to do this,Stagecoach and Arriva certainly do.
