The original Arriva route was from St Helens via Clock Face, Penketh, Warrington, Birchwood, then onto the M62 straight to the Trafford Centre. The service came to St Helens depot after Warrington closed and was reduced to Saturdays only and rerouted via Parr, Newton and I think it also took a slower route at the Trafford Centre end completely killing what was a very good and judging from the loadings, profitable route.
