Back in August when NW were yet again hiking up fares you came accross as a very stern Network Warrington supporter infact in one post you stated that passengers couldn't reily on Fairbothers and GHA and would happily pay the higher NW fares over the cheaper Fairbrothers/GHA alternatives and that's why Fairbothers buses were normally empty yet now you seem to be saying otherwise?

Just why are people suddenly travelling with GHA and Fairbothers instead of Network Warrington in your opinion?

I cannot recall making the comments referred by you in August but no doubt you will let me know the exact date, time and precisely what was stated.

I cannot deny being a Network Warrington supporter. My husband having travelled with Warrington Corporation/Network Warrington since the 1950s and myself since 1970. My husband and his family even travelled to our wedding in a Warrington Corporation Bus!

In my opinion certainly one of the reasons why people are travelling with GHA and Fairbrothers instead of NW is because they are both timed to run two or three minutes in front of NW and many passengers simply get on the first bus which arrives. Obviously Fairbrothers in particular have cheaper fares but they, of course, only run on three services (possibly the three most lucrative) in Warrington. Perhaps you will kindly let me have your opinion why, in your words, people are "suddenly" travelling with GHA and Fairbrothers instead of NW.
