The reason the HTL service will terminate at St Helens rather than Chain Lane too might have something to do with the fact that there would be no driver facilities at either end otherwise. Merseytravel ultimately seem uninterested in reinstating hourly services though.

Thanks for the insight. It really is rediculous that a service that links two towns is reduced to this frequency. There is also now a longer gap in the early evening between Arriva finishing and HTL starting as Arriva have withdrawn the 1825 journey from St Helens. Taken with the withdrawal of the 30 which ran half hourly with last departure from St Helens towards Sutton Manor being 1845, there really will be a lack of journeys at this time on this corridor.
