Interesting to note the withdrawal of the 620 - the sad end to what was once a very useful route.
It's the withdrawal of council funding, which is up for tender , this why up to now it has been withdrawn

Not according to an MP i been in contact with, Arriva where approached regarding extended the Contract and they did not want to continue operating the Service, There is currently a Tender out for a 620 between Ashton and Hindley Green, It should be awarded soon so we will know whos going to operate the Service
RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes - M60lad - 05/06/2015 08:04
Its good to see someone that's quite passionate about a particular service infact from what I know and remenber Bolton Bus Basher has been quite passionate about 620s for a long while now and even got a mention in his local paper once over because of it

For the benefit of some of us out on the other side of Merseyside .
Is the 620 a Tfgm contract all the way between Hindley Green and St Helens or is it just to the GM/Merseyside border.
RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes - T42 PVM - 05/06/2015 10:28
Its only contracted between Ashton and Hindley Green
RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes - Jack - 06/06/2015 19:52
If I remember correctly the 620 was just an extension of one of the Ashton 320 journeys at the time then contracted the rest of the way.

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.
