The 317 was jointly Ribble and St Helens Corporation (2 buses each).
The 320 was jointly Ribble, St Helens and Wigan Corporations but operated by Ribble Liverpool (2 buses) and LUT (4 buses) although Wigan Corporation sometimes took up one of LUT's workings to balance out mileage. LUT also ran peak hour duplicates to the 320 between Liverpool and St Helens but used service number 317, probably to avoid confusion with the through service to Wigan

I recall being on the last 39 out of Liverpool once and the door on Arab V sticking half open at Prescot. We had to wait for half an hour for a following Ribble 320 to take us to St. Helens where thankfully they had held the last short journey 39 (Arab IV)to Leigh) for us. Dont know what happened to people going on beyond Leigh mind.
