Service 319 that runs between St Helens and Ormskirk serving Rainford Village and Edge Hill University is currently operated by South Lancs Travel of Atherton (Leigh) however South Lancs have announced that they plan to discontinue the service from 2nd April. This would mean that St Helens would lose its link to Edge Hill University and Ormskirk

Actually from 2nd April there won't be a 319 service which is a shame as a couple of journies are busy with students travelling to/from Edge Hill College.
ReplyDeleteReason being is that Ace Travel has recently gone into Administration
i sent a tweet to merseytravel earlier and they said they are working to find a replacement so they may be a chance for this service yet
ReplyDeleteAce Travel have Cease Trading, Its just a wait and see what happens with the Service.
