Immediately after deregulation North Western (previously Ribble) did run the 284 and 285 (to Freshfield) but at the time demand did not warrant a 15 minute frequency. I can't recall when NW withdrew but Merseybus (Southport depot) took over.

Apologies Barney - I think we were both responding at the same time. I'm pretty sure that North Western withdrew from the 284/5 at the same time as the introduction of the X8/X9.
