A service which failed to attract enough passengers to be a success. Some people may work in their neighbouring towns, but none of Skem, Kirkby or St. Helens have enough shopping / leisure / entertainment facilities to attract loads of regular "leisure" passengers, and none of them have much traditional affinity with each other.

Skem has some affinity with Wigan, Liverpool & Ormskirk.
Kirkby has affinity with Liverpool, Liverpool & Liverpool.
St. Helens has affinity with Liverpool, and to a much lesser extent, Warrington, Wigan & Widnes.

So, no point in running bus services unless lots of people will want to use them.

Any bus service now operates if there's a cash flow on it, local authorities can comer in & tender a service if they feel one is socially necessary, & given current austerity local authorities are cutting services left right & centre, i doubt they'd be a regular cash flow for any Kirkby-Skem service to be successful.
