Ribble & North Western in Skelmersdale

RE: Ribble & North Western in Skelmersdale
Problem is when competition is removed so are the units required to sustain it and timetables see net reductions on them of units required so therefore supergroups can look to close depots if space appears elsewhere at other garages.

I was told that GMN Atherton's main reason for closing was because the bus war had ended with MTL and North Western and the fleet had reduced by something like circa 30 buses.
