Seems to be commercial between Newton-le-Willows and Leigh Sports village than supported by TfGM and Wigan Council between there and Leigh Infirmary. Odd though that is starts in Merseyside commercially though unless a lot of people from Newton-le-Willows get sent to Leigh Hospital!

Interesting too most of the August contract changes still haven't got new timetables up on the website even though the start next weekend!

I think the 597 to/from Newton-le-Willows might be for students heading to/from Leigh 6th Form College, which is based next to Leigh Sports Village.

RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes
That's my thinking, especially as one afternoon journey to Newton starts at LSV. I'm puzzled, however, that Merseytravel haven't stated there are other journeys that run, in a similar style to service 360.

Mind you, I don't understand why Merseytravel is so hellbent on making their own timetables for every single service. Why could they not do what TfGM and LCC do, and use each other's leaflets? It would make much more sense just to use the TfGM leaflet.

TfGM's timetable does show all the times too (and a map, showing the entire route) yet looking on TfGMs website if you search for route 256 (Garston - Ashton Circular) is brings up the Merseytravel timetable from 2008!

TfGM does its own full timetable for route 602/603, while Merseytravel also have one for those routes!

Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice.

602/603 I can understand as they both subsidise the 603 (although TfGM administer it).

I've just emailed TfGM about the 256 and also the 157 as they are both out of date... they don't pick up on these quickly as they use the Merseytravel leaflets - you'd have thought Merseytravel would email them a pdf file! Mind you, Merseytravel don't show the GM portion of the routes on the map... I really do not understand that.

RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes
Thats one thing that alllllllllways gets to me, why Merseytravel dont show the routes in other areas, ive always found LCC, Halton, CCC, TfGm always show the whole route.
Saying that, on some they have started too....but still not all!! So annoying. Even if its just a small bit outside the area, like the 34/320/156, and 47/48s.

The new 211 (Speke Circular) timetable is now online!

Valid from 13th August 2012:

211 (Speke circular)
Monday to Friday buses are now operated for Merseytravel by HTL Buses.
(The route and the times are unchanged.)
http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/pdf/tt_20...012%29.pdf

Confusingly this shows HTL running it Mon - Fri, but Ace on Saturdays, yet this weeks Merseytravel news update says the opposite, that HTL will be running it on Saturdays only!

RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes
I thought it might be as when I'd spoke to HTL previously they'd just said they'd won the 211 so for it to have been the Saturday only would have been unusual. Just checked too, the Merseytravel Update page has been corrected now!
