This will clearly be a short-lived working as the route is withdrawn next month. I am incidentally shocked that no operator nor Merseytravel have arranged a replacement service yet.

I have contacted Merseytravel about it and they are trying to get a partial replacement for it
RE: South Lancs Travel - wirralbus - 21/03/2015 22:41
Can Merseytravel finance a service that goes into Lancashire ?
RE: South Lancs Travel - T42 PVM - 21/03/2015 22:52
Lancs CC are helping to fund the replacement as well as they mentioned it in their most recent Online booklet about Service Changes

It's maddening when you think Arriva are doing St Helens - Ormskirk dead to start/finish some 395's. Surely some of these could run in service and perhaps make some money or am I being too naïve/cynical?

Neither. Under the current deregulated set-up there is no joined-up thinking. Each company's route stands or falls on its own merit. It might surprise our younger readers that once upon a time dead mileage was virtually unheard of and buses earned their keep as soon as they left the depot but those days have gone.
