St Helens run to Wigan as 352 then do 395 Wigan to Ormskirk and back then 352 Wigan to St Helens. All ok when everything is running right but if there is a hold up anywhere then you have 2 routes buggered up.

Others have previously claimed that Arriva depots have to bid against each other for routes, so even if Wigan to Ormskirk appeared to be best placed with the Bolton depot, if St Helens proposed a way of running it for a lower cost than Bolton then St Helens would get the route.
