RE: Upcoming service changes in Merseyside - Jack - 27/06/2025 09:41 Yeah only just! Got extended into Rainford about 18 months ago. RE: Upcoming service changes in Merseyside - Merseysidebusenthusiast - 03/07/2025 09:14 New 168 service to run from 20th July 2025; St Helens - South Parkway [Morning] Speke - Haydock [Afternoon] This is a new service operated by Hatton’s Travel. Running one morning journey from St Helens (Shaw Street) at 0830 to Liverpool South Parkway via Widnes and one journey starting from Garston, Speke Road at 1726 to Haydock.

Why do Hattons do this though. Is it too make a profit off dead running to a route? Like the 167, 12 & 28. RE: Upcoming service changes in Merseyside - St Helens Rider - 03/07/2025 15:54 Another question is why is this subsidised when the other routes are commercial? Does not seem like the best use of subsidy. RE: Upcoming service changes in Merseyside - Y458 KNF - 03/07/2025 15:59 (03/07/2025 14:12)Merseysidebusenthusiast Wrote: Why do Hattons do this though.

Do people actually use these routes? RE: Upcoming service changes in Merseyside - Merseysidebusenthusiast - 05/07/2025 10:57 I have no idea where to put this. But does anyone know where the LW1 went?
