I know the 61 covers a little bit of the route, but I don't think there's any service between the Stoops and Warrington, unless someone knows differently!

The H2 was run by Shearings after dereg (Crosvilles Warrington Depot on Sundays under Contract), was later renumbered 52. Also WBT ran a 28 between Warrington & Prescot in the late 90's/early 2000's.

The trouble is that very few people live on the A57 between Rainhill & Sankey, so there are several miles with near zero traffic potential. Not really what any bus company wants. A similar situation applies in many other areas which have poor or non-existent bus services.
