RE: Route History
Been looking at the 1, St Helens-Atherton, on the face of it that was a bizarre pointlless route, much of the route covered by other routes mainly 32 Hindley-Atherton & 320 Platt Bridge-St Helens, also interesting the LUT Atherton depot was the Southside of Atherton towards Leigh, the GM Buses depot i'm familiar with was near the rail station on the Northside of Atherton.

Come to think about it, in 70s & 80s St Helens had a few companies operating in the area, you had MPTE, GMPTE, LUT, Crosville & Ribble.
