Hi 'Mayneway' - hope you are keeping well.

You make a good point but so far as the NW services which are being withdrawn from the 5th September are concerned, and knowing these routes well, I very much doubt that the poor patronage is because of rising fares. My only surprise is that NW did not withdraw these services a long time ago and i would be even more surprised if the likes of Fairbrothers or anyone else registered services on these routes.

As the H man has stated NW are increasing journeys at peak times to Orford Longford and Westy which are, as you probably are aware, are three of the busiest routes in Warrington.

So far as NW losing passengers it would be interesting to have some idea as to how many people are travelling with Fairbrothers on the Dallam, Westy & Orford routes. Does anyone have any idea as to what the figures may be?
