Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire is a bus operator in North West England. It is a division of Stagecoach Group.
History
Historically, Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire was comprised of operations of two companies: Glenvale Transport, which operated services in Liverpool and was purchased by Stagecoach in 2005; and Ribble Motor Services, which operated in Lancashire and was purchased by Stagecoach in 1988. The current company was formed in 2011, as the result of a reorganization of Stagecoach's services in North West England. Stagecoach Merseyside (services in Liverpool and surrounding Merseyside) was merged with Stagecoach North West's operations in Lancashire to form Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire, with remainder of Stagecoach North West was reorganized as Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire. Stagecoach continues to use both the Glenvale Transport and Ribble Motor Services names as the legal registrations for its Merseyside & South Lancashire operations respectively.
In November 2012, Stagecoach announced the purchase of First Chester & The Wirral, adding new services in Cheshire and additional services in Merseyside to the operations.
The Bolton to Preston corridor was converted to Stagecoach Gold in Fall 2015, featuring new buses with upgraded features operating on route 125. Funding cutbacks from Lancashire Council in 2016 and 2019 resulted in the reduction of services.
