RE: Route History
Just to put a foot note to things on the list of routes, despite being joint routes it didn't necessacerily mean that all the operators listed had workings on those services, in some cases yes they did, but on others it mean't that the joint operation was a joint share of revenues.

For example on service 32 Salford and Wigan never operated any journeys and in practice LUT ran them all.
Similarly on service 39 LUT ran all the journeys.

The situation on the 82 is much more interesting the jointness with Bolton was two trolleybuses owned by Bolton Corporation that ran in SLT livery by SLT from Atherton depot and the fact all trolleybuses had to take a fresh set of fares at Four Lane Ends Over Hulton for journeys between there and Bolton with all that section of revenue going to Bolton Corporation all the revenue between Leigh and Four Lane Ends Over Hulton was LUT's although Leigh had working rights, Leigh didn't exercise these till after Trolleybus operation and bought its 6 Dennis Lolines to work its share, although this ended soon aftrer Selnec tookover then in practice LUT ran everything from Atherton on service 82. Also Bolton never ran anything on the 51 Warrington - Bolton but again may have taken the revenue or a share of the revenue between Four Lane Ends, Over Hulton and Bolton.
