Guessing these will be for the 352 and 395?

Possibly 352 and 320 if the 320 stops interworking with the 360 or at an outside bet the 89s.

Hopefully this will solve the problem some people have mentioned of the odd single decker turning up on the 10/10A. Would make sense to make the 352/395 all decker so that the whole corridor from Southport/Ormskirk/Orrell Post - Wigan is standardised.

2707 was on the 352 yesterday afternoon, which made a nice change.

Credit to the Merseytravel Feed the 620 St Helens - Hindley Green is going to be chopped from 26th July, Last time Arriva tried to Withdraw the Service regular users and MP's banded together to save the Service due to people in Ashton working in Hindley Green and Students of Haydock/Ashton/Platt Bridge losing their Link to their School in Hindley Green, Most of the Campaign from last time is no longer online but i was able to find MP Nigel Ash's Blog that was involved in saving the Service for people in Ashton who needed it along with the odd other news article

Nigel Ash - 620, Proposed Withdrawal of the Service

Now the 620 Service is once again under Threat i do wonder if such a Campaign will be set up again

I think it would have been more useful if it still ran through to Bolton - Blue Bus made it work, shame Arriva couldn't do the same.

I thought it was TFGM funded between Ashton and Hindley Green? So are they dropping the funding hence the withdrawal.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
I think it is TFGM Funded between the said points yes, With the people who use this to get to Work/School this has become a Vital Link and would be a very poor showing by TFGM if the Link is indeed lost
