WBT need to invest in a small fleet of 15-20 seater minibuses which do various circular routes to provide the service. No need for big single deckers on Sunday evenings. Carbon footprint.

(You stolen my vehicle registration certificate by the way?)

I have, currently advertising free lifts on Sunday evenings. I am off this week nice of you to notice.

Great opportunity for people to start getting on their bikes! Iv cycled the 9 miles to the game a few times now and thoroughly enjoyed it, as I am able to have a jar and a pie and burn most of it off before I get home.
If you cant afford a bike, see if your employer (if employed) supports the Cycle To Work Scheme...great way to get a bike.

Wonder how long before BA syndrome sets in. (BA syndrome = when people realise we can do without they will REALLY be in trouble). Cant remember last time I used a bus as I generally walk if the journey is within Warrington

I predict that within a few weeks we will see Bennetts (Coachways) or Fairways introduce a few Sunday evening services, running every two hours and merging routes.

30B springs to mind, along with a few 20/21As. 5 to Warby (merging 7 & 37/3icon_cool.gif and possibly some kind of route similar to the 26/27. There is deffo a demand for sunday buses, and 2010 will be looked back on as a sad day for WBT. Reducing services will indicate weakness to the big 4, in particular Stagecoach who I believe have their eyes on Warrington already.

It's a cost cutting/ fund raising plot directed at the town's rugby supporter. Stop the buses so they travel in cars then get all the traffic wardens out to ticket the extra cars who park where they shouldn't. Save money on the buses, raise money in fines - win/win situation for the council.

theres nobody on them anyway, get a bike

I rely on buses and catch at least 4 a day. Admittedly, some are empty and they should be cut. However others are packed and people rely on them. In reccent weeks Inspectors have been running extra buses on a Sunday to cope with post match demand. According to the Guardian, they never bothered to think about the rugby. The whole thing is a shambles and hugely damaging to WBT's reputation.

On an interesting note, WBC needs to make £30 million worth of cuts. Guess how much Orford Park is going to cost...

The orford park project is vital.

why?

So that the youth of today are on the fields playing sports or with friends resulting in lower obesity levels and less chavs on buses playing loud crap music, sorry...rap music, and threatening to stab you in cold blood.

and that costs £30 million? The place already has an outdoor gym!

birchy you can stop at ours if you want! i'll have a bar b q

2 min walk from the ground!

WBC are one of four/five funders to the scheme.

Allied to that, a quarter of the space will be a health centre. Furthermore, it is the first time in thirty five years WBC has been involved in a major spend.

PS

I know exactly how much Orford Park will cost.

Yet again Orford getting unfair treatment within the council's budget. Thousands was spent on Orford Youth Base, despite the youth council saying they didn't want it, and now it's there people dont know about it or don't want to go.

Orford is in the top 7% of deprived areas and spending silly amount on a swimming pool won't change that.

getdownmonkeyman- I am simply trying to encourage a bit of debate on here, which people on this forum sadly can't understand without a smiley after every single word. This is exactly the kind of conversation which would have taken place in The Town Hall

I think Orford Park should be financed by the people of Orford. If that doesn't work out then it simply shouldn't go ahead.

At the end of the day I don't want my tax revenue to be used on a £30 million park project which is going to get burnt down/ stolen, and then not be able to get a bus back from the rugby.

"There is no such thing as society".

Where does this £30 million figure come from?

Take into account the rise in inflation, VAT moving back up to 17.5% and the fact these are always underestimates, it looks like it will no doubt cost a lot more than that then eh.

No, a lot less.

Just spoken to a contact at WBT, there will be six buses leaving from winwick street after the match. Details are yet to be finalised but they have been organised as a private hire, so won't be doing specific routes as such.

Great news IMO, hopefully they will now scrap the stupid plans all together!
