For example, services 32 & 35 from St Helens Hospital towards St Helens Town Centre run within minutes of each other and have done for years. I'm sure if researched, there are more than likely other examples.

Yeah, that whole direction of St Helens has had problems which you'd have thought could have been managed better.
Like in the peaks, the 30 and 17 often used to run together too, with the Solo in front getting packed out and standing, but the Solo behind only having a few on.
As far as I can recall, it was because they had a more-or-less co-ordinated timetable during the interpeak period, but in the peaks the 30 still ran every 30 minutes but the 17 ran about every 36 minutes instead.
