RE: Wigan Buses Limited
Seems Wigan Buses LTD are to bounce back from their recent Tender loses with Commercial Service

610 Wigan - Hawkley Hall

Monday - Saturday Service introduced from 18/05/15

613 Wigan - Bottling Wood

Monday - Saturday Service Introduced from 13/04/15

634 Wigan - Belle Green

Monday - Saturday Service introduced from 13/04/15 (45 Min Frequency)

Have Wigan Buses LTD ever ran Commercial Services before?

[St Helens Rider]

RE: Wigan Buses Limited
Unsure of commercial work but the company does tend to stick within the Wigan Borough. I can only think of two services they have run which strayed - they previously ran the 603 bringing them into Merseyside and until recently ran the tendered Sunday morning 362 into Lancashire. I think we can class them as Wigan's equivalent to Leigh's Jim Stones.

RE: Wigan Buses Limited
613 is partly funded on the Platt Lane, Durham Street and St Stephens Avenue section (previously served by SLT's 715 service) but the rest is commercial.

RE: Wigan Buses Limited
On Saturday i ended up on a Wigan Buses LTD Bus and asked for a Bus and Train System one, i got a Ticket from an old style Ticket Machine and the Driver stamped on the Ticket that it was a System One (however it did not state what type of System One it was!) I have added a photo of the Ticket

In other news Wigan Buses LTD 634 is getting Withdrawn in July

Did the other companies accept that System1?
It's cost is £6.80 so should explain to other drivers which system1 you aquired

RE: Wigan Buses Limited
I had a lot of very funny looks and 1 Driver took it of me for a closer look and asked where i got it from but overall i had very few problems using it.

[M60lad]

RE: Wigan Buses Limited
Certainly an odd way of doing things but glad you didn't have any problems using it, although if I was a driver I would have had a courtesy look at it.

I must say before I got my ENCTS pass I used to always be wary of where I bought a System 1 Daysaver from as like you I used to have the odd problem depending which operator I bought it from
