I thought it might have been reduced in frequency maybe but no change what so ever. The only 2 reasons possibly being the well off area as mentioned and because part of it is funded by TfGM at the Ashton end. When some Town routes and areas (some in quite poor areas) going busless, this route survived. I can see comparisons between the 157 and 206.

The 157 Rainford - Ashton has been commercially operated by Cumfybus since April, a good 3 months before the St Helens network review.
