If they need to do this and they have done this for many a year back to the days of the awful tyranny of those cowboys merseybus/MTL North/Lancashire Travel why dont they just make a X52 or X95 limited stop Orrell Post-Wigan and then normal stopping to St Helens or Southport as Clearly the Ormskirk road Corridor is a major issue with regards timings of buses into wigan and re route via Winstanley like the old Northwestern Haydock Route 342?

Increase frequency is the answer, Skem ran the 375/385 at 15 mins once WITH the 395, I am sure if Stagecoach Wigan ran into Skem it would help, but agreements will be in place previously between operators
