South Lancs Travel mainly ran services in the Bolton and Leigh areas until the summer of 2005 when they moved into Blue Bus' former depot at Appley Bridge in Wigan. Since moving into the Wigan area, SLT has gone head to head with First Manchester on some services (notably the 600/611/612/635; also the 593 Wigan - Belle Green Circular competes with the 598 and 598Link) offering multiple services per hour competing with First Manchester.
