Given that there's a Sunday evening service between Newton-le-Willows and Wigan, that's operated by Warrington's Own Buses and there's no mention of that being withdrawn, it would suggest that there will be a Monday-Saturday evening service from a different operator. Whether that's as the 22A or 360 doesn't appear to be clear.

No mention of the change on the TfGM website, which doesn't help anyone using the route. No clues on bustimes.org either. Obvious option would be Arriva resuming the operation and have the same operator throughout the day and evening on Monday-Saturdays and TfGM have been trying to reduce the number of operators on some routes in Leigh recently.
