The only place the cover the same route is from Halton Hospital to Halton Lodge (Handforth Lane) then the 62 goes via Grangeway with 61 going via Clifton Road

Then at Runcorn High St to Widnes Green Oaks .
The 61 departs Halton Hospital at 00.28 & 00,58 With the 62 due at Halton Hospital at 00.10 & 00.40 this gives a 12 min headway

At Runcorn High St the 61 depart at 00.15 & 00.45 with the 62 been 00.25 & 00.55

I don't mean that the different services are chasing each other; I mean that according to the timetables there are 61's running at the same time as each other (two departing Halton Hospital at 28 past the hour and two departing at 58 past the hour), and completely separate to that, there are also 62's run by Warrington going around at pretty much the same time as each other.

Just a note as well that Arriva aren't sticking to the old Halton timetable, as for example they are running the 62 half-hourly, whereas Halton's 62 was every 20 minutes. As another instance, it's also the case with the 17, where they have redone the timetable.

I wonder how the X1 might further be affected in the future by these changes.
