RE: Route History
Just to put a foot note to things on the list of routes, despite being joint routes it didn't necessacerily mean that all the operators listed had workings on those services, in some cases yes they did, but on others it mean't that the joint operation was a joint share of revenues. For example on service 32 Salford and Wigan never operated any journeys and in practice LUT ran them all. Similarly on service 39 LUT ran all the journeys. The situation on the 82 is much more interesting the jointness with Bolton was two trolleybuses owned by Bolton Corporation that ran in SLT livery by SLT from Atherton depot and the fact all trolleybuses had to take a fresh set of fares at Four Lane Ends Over Hulton for journeys between there and Bolton with all that section of revenue going to Bolton Corporation all the revenue between Leigh and Four Lane Ends Over Hulton was LUT's although Leigh had working rights, Leigh didn't exercise these till after Trolleybus operation and bought its 6 Dennis Lolines to work its share, although this ended soon aftrer Selnec tookover then in practice LUT ran everything from Atherton on service 82. Also Bolton never ran anything on the 51 Warrington - Bolton but again may have taken the revenue or a share of the revenue between Four Lane Ends, Over Hulton and Bolton. |

The Leigh - Ashton part of the 55 is now the 600 from Deregulation day in 1986 this came into being before that it was the 555 then from 1985 the 655 from Leigh to Billinge Hospital |

RE: Route History
Leigh Corporation Transport routes at January 1964. Leigh was a joint operator with LUT & other operators on services 5, 16, 18, 26, 37, 39, 46, 47, 48, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 57, 58, 82 and 84. For details see the LUT list in the earlier post. Leigh operated most (possibly all) of 46 and 47, but had little (if any) active participation in many of the other joint services. Leigh is listed as the sole operator of the following: 1. Leigh - Plank Lane. 2. Leigh - Cemetery / Astley (Higher Green) 3. Leigh - Hindley Green 4. Leigh - Tamar / Dangerous Corner. 4B. Leigh - Briar Grove / Abbey Lane. 6. Leigh - Higher Fold. 7. Leigh - New Henry St. Estate. 8. Leigh - Abram (Crankwood Rd.) (infrequent) 9 /9A. Leigh circulars via Holden Rd. 10 Leigh - Leigh Infirmary. (irregular / infrequent) Jim Stones now operates some of the equivalent routes. |

Wigan - Hawkley Hall. 10C. Wigan - Worsley Mesnes. 12. Wigan - Abram (Crankwood Road) 13. Wigan - Bickershaw 14. Wigan - New Springs. 15. Wigan - Bolton via Aspull / Wingates. (Joint with Bolton) 16.

Wigan - Kitt Green via Bell Lane. 22. Wigan - Marsh Green. 23. Wigan - Worsley Hall. 24. Wigan - Bottling Wood. 25. Wigan - Beech Hill. Several routes had some journeys that were linked across Wigan Town Centre, changing route numbers at the town centre: 1 with 2/2A; 3/3A with 4; 5/5A with 7; 12 with 22/23; 13 with 23; 14 with 25; Joint services With LUT : 32 With LUT & Leigh : X85 With Ribble: 333 /343 With Ribble & St. Helens: 342 /352 /352, plus St. Helens local services 51A, 52, 53 & 55. With LUT, Ribble & St. Helens : 320 X85. Wigan - Culcheth - Irlam (rail replacement service for the Wigan Central branch) 320 Wigan - Liverpool 333 / 343 Wigan - Wrightington / High Moor 342 Wigan - Billinge. 352 /362 Wigan - St. Helens. 352 Wigan - St. Helens - Widnes (Su only) Apart from 320, and (I think) 333 /343, I don't think that Wigan provided any vehicles for these joint services (although it could possibly have provided some duplicates on 352 / 362 when Wigan RLFC were playing at St. Helens). |

RE: Route History
Widnes Corporation Motor Omnibus Department, as they were called in their July 1970 timetable did not use route numbers, indeed most of their buses could not display route numbers. In the list below, Runcorn refers to Bus Station (Old Town), and Widnes refers to Widnes Town Hall. With several route variants, that makes the network difficult to describe, so I apologise for any errors or omissions. Also, the timetable lists all departures from certain locations, so there may be some duplication in the list. Runcorn / Widnes - Cronton via Appleton & Black Horse. Runcorn / Widnes - Farnworth Street or Horns via Peelhouse Lane & Lunts Heath Rd. Runcorn / Widnes - Bold Heath or Black Horse via Frank St & Dykin Rd. Widnes - Horns via Fairfield. Runcorn / Widnes - Horns via Bancroft Rd Runcorn / Widnes - Rainhill or Whiston Hospital Runcorn / Widnes - Chorley Lane Coronation Drive / Deacon Road - Chorley Lane. Widnes - Hough Green (several variants) Widnes - Horns circular via Fairfield, Widnes North & Derby Rd. ditto., in reverse direction to above. Widnes - Stewards Avenue. Joint with St. Helens Corporation (only St. Helens Corporation buses could display the route numbers) 35. Widnes - St. Helens via Peelhouse Lane, Black Horse, Sutton Manor, Sutton Leach. Plus infrequent peak hour variants: 33. Widnes - St. Helens direct via Kingsway, Black Horse, Sutton Manor . 34. Widnes - St. Helens via Everite Works, Sutton Manor 37. Widnes - St. Helens via Everite Works, Sutton Manor, Sutton Leach & St. Helens Junction. Before the Widnes - Runcorn road bridge was opened, several routes terminated at "Transporter". |
