Thinking from the other thread of links being lost when a bus company takes over another bus company, got me thinking of links/through links lost after bus wars have ended, couple of examples.
GM Buses operated the 34 Liverpool-Manchester & 320 Liverpool-Wigan, when MTL & GM Buses North & South as GM Buses had become, came up with the gentlemen's agreement to pull out from each others operating area.
34/320 were a couple of casualties because of this, 34 being split at Leigh, with MTL operating Leigh-Liverpool & GM Buses North operating Leigh-Manchester, soon MTL cut the St Helens-Liverpool section to peaks only, then completely withdrawn St Helens-Liverpool section.
The Leigh-Manchester section has had a few revisions too
320 being cut to St Helens-Wigan & transfered to be operated by North Western
