New to Warrington, in 04/2018, for 'Cheshire Cat' branded services, this Enviro 200MMC is seen here awaiting departure from Warrington Bus Interchange, on 19/06/2024. This Enviro 200MMC has since been re-registered MX18HLG. It is about to operate Service Cheshire Cat CAT5 10:32 Altrincham Interchange - Broadheath - Sale - Carrington - Partington - Warburton - Lymm Cross - Church Green Lymm Church - Statham Massey - Thelwall - Grappenhall - Stockton Heath - Warrington Bank Quay Station - Warrington Bus Interchange. A journey time of 1hr. 29 minutes. From 05/01/2025, this service was renumbered to 5. Monday to Saturday evening journeys will now run between Lymm and Warrington only and no longer run via Cobbs Estate. Saturday morning, Sunday and public holiday times will also change. Journeys running as bus X5 between Lymm and Manchester Airport have also been withdrawn, the latter due to Tranche 3 of TfGM's Bee Network which began on the same day. There are now electric Volvo BZL single and single and double-deckers in service with more due for Warrington, the arms length operated municipal operator, which obtained with ZEBRA funding. A new depot has been constructed on Dallam Lane to house these electrics with the intention of replacing all of the diesel buses. As it stands at this moment in time, it is a mixed bag of a fleet. © Peter Steel 2024.

New to Transdev - Lancashire United(1878), in 08/2012, this Volvo is seen here departing from Warrington Interchange, on a lovely 13/03/2024. It is operating in Service X5 10:52 Manchester Airport Bus Station - Manchester Airport World Freight Terminal - Hale Barns - Altrincham Interchange - Bowdon Vale - Little Bollington - Broomedge - Lymm Cross - Lymm Church - Statham - Thelwall - Grappenhall - Latchford Kwick Save - Latchford Park Avenue - Warrington Bank Quay Station - Warrington Bus Interchange. This service has been replaced in part, from 05/01/2025, by new 5A service from Lymm Cross to Warrington, running every 30 minutes and providing access from the TfgM Bee Network at Lymm Cross. The remaining part of the X5 route from Manchester Airport to Lymm was replaced by Bee Network 279 service from Altrincham to Lymm Cross, via Broomedge, and Higher Lane, which in effect is not all of the former X5 service as the 279 is a Lymm circular. It is Service 288 was re-introduced from Altrincham Interchange to Manchester Airport, thus replacing that section of the X5, Under Tranche 3 of bee Network which began on 05/05/2025. The 288 is operated by Rotala - Diamond Bus (North West), under Bee Network, so really the good people of Warrington can use Service 5 to Altrincham, then the 279 to the airport or vice-versa. I hope all that makes sense. Any complaints to Warrington's Own Buses, and Andy Burnham for Bee Network!

As it stands at this moment in time, it is a mixed bag of a fleet although this B7RLE is one of the casualties of probably both events! © Peter Steel 2024.
