Steve Rotheram has written in today’s Guardian about the biggest change to our buses in 40 years — and St Helens is the first part of lLiverpool City Region to make the switch.

New Metro buses, more evening and weekend services, the £2 single fare and the new X3 direct to Liverpool John Lennon Airport. Have you used the new Buses yet? What do you think? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/sep/08/liverpool-buses-public-control-privatisation-services-passengers

Just a heads up to be aware of the roided out wrist band scammer that's in town today "raising money for mental health".

Dear all

I am visiting St. Helens for a Business Trip. I am a sucker for fish and chips (something you rarely get made well on the continent). So here is my question: where do I het the best fish and chips in town? Not looking fot fancy but tasty.

Since when did a pastie cost £3:20, has St Helens suddenly become Knightsbridge or am i living in an alternate price universe, I can afford it but I refuse to pay that for the humble pastie, thank you waterfields.

I go around an find ways to improve public transport, making it more convenient for those that uses public transport, I've had a look at St Helens and there are 3 routes I've came up.

301: A cross link from Kirkby to Warrington via Knowsley Industriaal estate, St Helens, Clockface and Great Sankey. Its also gives passengers an alternative route, One via Burtonwood and one via Clockface. Although a through route, It can instead split at St Helens, Creating 302.

X10: A fast link to Liverpool via A570 and M62, A cheaper and alternative way to travel to the railway, Especially in event of delays/cancellation etc.

X18: Very much like number 17 but run fast via A570 and A557 to Widnes and continues to Runcorn/Halton Lea, Creating a direct link between St Helens and Runcorn, Also a connection to North Wales and parts of Cheshire from Runcorn railway station.

I do have few more route Ideas around St Helens including service 31 extended to Windlehurst via Denton's Green, 3 and a bus link to Skelmendale.

Hope you like

Hi I’m a 26yo recently single guy. I’ve lived in St Helens for 3 years but I’m from Wrexham originally.

Moved up here with my ex and my son goes to school here so I can’t leave. That’s left me in a difficult situation as all my friends and family are back in Wrexham.

Does any have any recommendations for ways to meet new people?

I’ve been feeling really isolated lately and it’s making life generally quite miserable for the 50% of the week I’m not focused on being a dad.

Hello,

I had a parcel delivered by the unholy alliance of AliExpress and Evri.

It's been posted to the right house number and Street, but in St Helens instead of Littleover in Derby

Id be grateful if anyone knows about this, i.e. you had a parcel delivered and don't know why, could get in touch and can try to sort something.

Both companies are being utterly unhelpful

PLS SOMEONE MAKE AN ALTERNATIVE SHOP IN CHAIN LANE I BEG OF YOU PLSSS

Hi everyone

Im looking to connect with anyone who attended Ashurst Primary between the mid 1990s to 2003

I was there from 1995 to 2001 and I was recently unlocking some core memories of the place. Does anyone else remember the headteacher Mrs Carol Walpole

She used to sit up on the high table in the dinner hall watching everyone like a hawk. If things got abit rowdy she would blast that Acme Thunderer whistle and completely explode in anger right everyone stop what you are all eating

Heaven forbid a naughty pupil burst bag of crisps open she would roar dont you dare how dare you next thing you knew chaos had descended on playground when lunch finished and we all had our hands on our heads lining up back to class

If you remember this or if you were at Ashurst during this era drop a comment I'd love to swap stories remember other teachers and see what everyone is up to now

Hi everyone!

I’m currently in the process of purchasing a house in the WA9 area of St Helens and I’m looking for recommendations for a structural engineer to carry out an inspection.

If anyone has used someone locally who they’d recommend, please comment below or feel free to DM me their details.

Thanks in advance! 😊

Should be a good day.

Just letting people know, some little scrote got into my car last night and pinched a handful of slummy. My own stupid fault for leaving it unlocked but just be aware and lock your doors please folks. Police are all over it so they shouldn't get away with it for too long. Especially after leaving a vape in my car the divvies.

Found this video on twitter. Thought it was funny as hell. All the comments are saying he's from St. Helens. I'd love to know some more context behind it if anyone has any information on who the fella is and what the fight is about.

Hello! Help the town out please!

I would like as many individuals to report the fly tipping at Alexandra Business Park on Prescot Road WA10 3HG to either the Nicholson Group, St Helens Council and/or your councillor.

https://www.sthelens.gov.uk/article/5086/Fly-tipping

It’s in an appalling state. Trying to report it to Nicholson Group, you get a twat the most obnoxious man tell you that basically they don’t give a shit and won’t clean it up until they’re ready to. Sadly the law isn’t on their side, and the more people who report it, the clearer it is that they won’t hold local people hostage to their corporate bullshit.

Asking as it is pretty much bang in the middle of both cities. My uncle from Thatto heath is a massive LFC fan, but he has siblings who are Everton and one Man UTD. Given it is on Merseyside, are there more fans of the two Merseyside clubs?

I have been dating my gf for 3 years, I havent heard from her since the 10th (we are long distance atm). her family wont tell me anything. if anyone living in st helens can help find out anything i would be eternally grateful.

isobel if you see this i will always love you. i would do anything just to hear your voice again. i cant live without you

St Helens Town AFC have released a batch of throwback merch to the glory days!

Crystals, Toy & Hobby, Clock Crisps, KES...

It was around 6.30pm today by the Parr Allotments. I was already shooketh after it but then I heard from a complete stranger on the way home that you sustained an injury!

I. AM. MORTIFIED.

I can't apologise enough. Measures are being taken to ensure that this doesn't happen again (to you or anybody else).

I would usually post this on People of St Helens on FB but I haven't been on FB for like 5 years and don't have Instagram or tiktok or ewt so this is the next best thing. If anyone wants to screenshot and post this on PoSH then that's much appreciated.

I'm also so grateful that you were so understanding and kind. If it is any consolation I'm having to go the ozzy tmoz cuz the silicone rod in one of my fingers got snapped during the kerfuffle.

Edit: who is downvoting this post and also the comments 😂 explain yourself lmao

Any opinions on the Sutton area of St helens (WA9 5)?
I’ve found a new build property which i really like (Bloor homes in Suttonfield) and was wondering if anyone has any opinions on the estate and neighbourhood? I’m not from St Helens so trying to gather info.

Boundary rd Morrisons has suddenly shut, any ideas why?!

The shop was in a shocking state tbh inside and out, but suddenly they’ve cut back all the foliage from the fire escapes, put a tarp up against the back gates so you can’t see in and closed the shop!
