The 352 was via Orrell direct (omitting the Station). The 362 was as per the current 352 and the 372 was an irregular diversion via Tontine. To add to this, the 352 stayed as it was until 2006 - possibly along with the 362 too (I think it was either March or May - I definitely remember 2006 but it may have been 2005...) when I started to follow its current route down Sandy Lane via the station, and the 362 was curtailed to run between Wigan and Chorley. A couple of years later though, the road by Orrell Water Park was closed for roadworks for a few weeks and the 352 returned to its old route, which was a nice trip down memory lane! The 372 followed the 352/362 but it went via Oxhouse Road, Upholland High, Tontine Road and Sefton Road before rejoining both routes at the Orrell crossroads. I think the route was withdrawn in 1998/99, however up until a few years ago there were bus stop flags along the route still showing 372 on them - they might still be there but I wasn't looking for them when I last went down that way. Does anybody know how often the 372 used to run? and better still, does anybody have old timetables for the 342/52/62/72 routes? _______________ Formerly MX59 JZJ |
