St Helens LINk is asking people to support a new bus service taking patients and visitors to hospital – or risk losing the service.
The number 28 bus, run by Nip On Buses, will take passengers from St Helens Town Centre into the hospital grounds at St Helens Hospital for the first time. Before that, the closest stop was on Marshalls Cross Road. The distance that patients and visitors then had to walk to get to the hospital entrance was raised as an issue of concern with LINk’s Transport Task Group.
Since the new bus service began, LINk has been busy promoting the service as if it isn’t used by enough passengers, it will be withdrawn. Use it or lose it!
