Bring Back The 620 St Helens to Bolton Arriva Service

RE: Bring Back The 620 St Helens to Bolton Arriva Service
If it was so un-viable, why did Blue Bus run it successfully for so many years and also why did Arriva upon takeover increase the frequency to every 30 minutes. Dosen't help at the moment the fact it only runs as far as Hindley Green, thus creating quite hap hazard connections at Hindley. I think another kiss of death to the route was the transfer from Bolton to St Helens depot. When this has happened with other routes, it has signalled a reduction/withdrawal. One example being the X4 (St Helens - Warrington - Trafford Centre) which was run by Warrington depot before that depot closed - the route got good enough loads enough to increase the capacity from a single deck Tiger to double deck Olympian. Not bad for a time before the National Concessionary Passes. When transferred, the service was re-routed and reduced to running 1 day a week eventually being withdrawn.
