I doubt it would be a success; I used the 339 quite a lot, and the only really busy bus was the first "bus pass" journey in the morning - occasionally full, but not a money-maker because operators do not get paid a fortune to accept bus passes, Saveaways, etc.

The best prospects for a partial replacement of 339 might be if one 329 bus each hour could be rerouted to serve Gemini & Warrington Hospital.
