RE: Route History
Before d-reg the routes were 125 Wigan-Preston, 126 Bolton Preston, [GMPTE operated the short sections of the 125/126 Wigan/Bolton-Chorley], & 352/362/372 St Helens-Wigan, at d-reg Ribble diverted the 125 to Bolton, North Western extended the 352/362/372 to become St Helens-Chorley via Wigan. I don't know when Merseybus started the 62 St Helens-Wigan, but Merseybus then, also started the 510 Liverpool-Bolton which went via the 62 St Helens-Wigan, before the 510 got cut to Wigan after the bus wars, think the 62 & 510 interworked at the Wigan end. Not sure when the 352/362/372 were split at Wigan became 2 different sections rather than a through route, but after Arriva brought MTL the routes were rationalised to today's 352 & 362. Main difference of the 352/362/372 was in the upper Billinge & Orrell area, 352 went as present day 362 via Orrell station, 362 stayed on the main St Jame's Road, 372 went via Tontine |
