RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
There was a few factors that caused it problems: 1.Heavy traffic congestion by warrington bank quay. 2.heavy traffic in peak times on old chester road. 3.swing bridge when that opens/closes. 4.funding was withdrawn. The positive in it was the sunday service stayed even though that was part of the t+c's of the funding so many thought that would of terminated with the funding. |

Couldn't see Arriva operating it, St Helens depot or other depots that operate along Liverpool Road or past Network Warrington's depot. It would be better suited to those more local to Warrington or a fair bit of layover to kill. Many years ago, buses did go past Bank Quay, when the bus station was adjacent to the long-closed Arpley station. However, especially since the opening of Golden Square shopping centre, that area is much more attractive to passengers than the Arpley area. |
