R694WAW driving through Tyldesley at 1855 with 'Not in service' on the front with passengers on , so i'm guessing it was the 1815 132 from the Trafford Centre , luckily for those wanting wigan the 32 wasn't far behind :P

I've seen that happen before - not only is it unfair to intending passengers!

Don't see why it was either , only a half load and only 20 minutes late which is common for the 132 anyway , sometimes it doesn't matter if its a frequent service (10 - 15 minute frequency) and a full standing load but it wasn't full , it was the last one of the day and it's only every hour - not on !

When I used to work in Wigan (prior to December last year) I used to see it frequently, although this was with the second-to-last journey from Trafford Centre. However it was always the same driver doing it.

Further new timetable for the 319 from the 1st September now on SLT website:

There will be an additional early morning journey from St Helens at first glance.


RE: South Lancs Travel - T42 PVM - 12/08/2012 21:50

comparing both timetables thats the only change, wonder why they are doing that


RE: South Lancs Travel - St Helens Rider - 12/08/2012 22:07

My guess would be because it's the start of the University term.


RE: South Lancs Travel - CX54 DKD - 12/08/2012 22:07

Request from the university/students? Looking at the time it terminates in Ormskirk anyway, and judging by the lack of a return journey, I'd assume the bus will do that 319 trip followed by a morning school run.


RE: South Lancs Travel - Raawwwrrr! - 12/08/2012 23:01

Its the bus that Interworks with the EL1.

Rather then running dead to Ormskirk, a morning bus now runs from St Helens then to Ormskirk, Where it then does the EL1

Unusual working today - X80SLT out on the 581.
