Correct. It is possible (although I cannot verify) that Arriva may have got the tender previously because they were willing to run it to/from St Helens commercially. There is nothing to stop another operator from doing the same.

TfGM won't pay to run the service to/from Haydock as that would require more than one bus, plus it is simple enough for a change of bus to take place. Downside is the requirement for two tickets as System One doesn't extend far enough... that might be why what the situation above is the case currently.
