Be interesting to know the route and whether it may take passengers in Skem from Arriva |

From my understanding it replaces the 97 in Kirkby then down the M58 coming off near Skem For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly! All my Social Media Links here! https://linktr.ee/TerencePrice |

Stepping on Arriva's toes. May work well for Stagecoach if that works as well as being less time if going from Skem to Queen Square and change bus in Kirkby. Need a packed lunch on the Arriva 310 from Skem to Liverpool |

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
Isn’t it a LCC tender, intended to link skelmersdale to the rail network at Kirkby? EDIT: Yep, it appears in the Lancashire County Council Bus Tender doc. Will attempt to copy and paste here... |

I'm sure the St Helens - Southport route was numbered 319. I rode it in 2006. |

Originally Southport - St Helens - Warrington before deregulation, then after dereg, North Western had a Lancashire tender between Rainford and Ormskirk, ABC took it over in 1989 and extended it to run Southport - St Helens, the route survived various takeovers/company changes, then Fairway Travel ran a competing service, what was then Stagecoach service was eventually withdrawn, the Fairway cut it back to St Helens - Ormskirk and eventually ceased trading and thus ending the route. Apologies if I've gone a little off topic. |
