It was indeed. Very long history. Originally Southport - St Helens - Warrington before deregulation, then after dereg, North Western had a Lancashire tender between Rainford and Ormskirk, ABC took it over in 1989 and extended it to run Southport - St Helens, the route survived various takeovers/company changes, then Fairway Travel ran a competing service, what was then Stagecoach service was eventually withdrawn, the Fairway cut it back to St Helens - Ormskirk and eventually ceased trading and thus ending the route.

Apologies if I've gone a little off topic.
