Coming back to this, Lancashire United had a route, Bolton-Warrington numbered then 550, via 582 to Leigh then Newton Le Willows & Warrington, at d-reg Warrington Transport took over the service but cut it to operate Leigh-Warrington via Newton Le Willows, was then numbered 419, mostly to fit tin with Warringtons 19/420 routes[i think the 419 interworked the 19], 419 lasted well into the 90s, Warrington Transport always seem to allocate deckers[i remember the East Lancs Dominators] on the 419 even though it mostly carried fresh air
