Warrington's Own Buses

A few observations:
○ Chapelford and Whittle Hall lose their link to Westbrook.
○ The new service 10 is every 30 minutes and runs down Farrell Street, which I don't recall ever having had a regular public bus service before.
○ The distinction between the 11 and 11A has changed, with the 'A' meaning running along Wilderspool Causeway.
○ There is additional layover on the Stockton Heaths, which now get an extra half-hour spread over a run to Altrincham and a run to either Northwich or Appleton Thorn; the flipside is that the 6 gets less running time (3 minutes). The 7/8 generally switch over at Appleton Thorn. Warrington and Arriva now both have a service 7 in the town again. Buses on service 5 calling at Lymm High School will turn around there before going back to pick up the route again, missing no stops out. I assume that the last journey on service 35 on Saturdays departs Warrington at 13:43, not 09:43.
○ The co-ordinated frequencies to Penketh and Sankey seem to have been planned well.
○ The 32A/E route has changed but the opportunity to remove the 'A' on the service number has been missed (the 4A keeps its 'A' as well). It will now keep the same route all day, no longer being diverted away from the estate which it used to omit to avoid the schools at around 9am and 3pm.
○ There will have to be long interworking patterns, as is usual for Warrington. No obvious solution seems to jump out, but I'm thinking something along the lines of
2 -> 4A -> 3 -> 13 -> 15 -> 32A -> 16 -> not sure, as well as 10 -> 11 -> 12, and 1 -> 14 -> 16A, and 18/19 -> 22 -> 25 -> 23A.
