It was on at 1pm on HTV for years, then they moved it to 2.30pm and skipped over 2 years of storylines to catch up with Carlton so no wonder so many people lost interest.
Yeah it used to be on 14:30 on Central too, before it was quitely dropped. To make way for original programming like repeats of Midsommer Murder
Well it was dropped because ITV took away the regional 14.30 slots so there was nowhere for it to go, and ITV wouldnt network it, probably because it didnt do that well on Carlton regions. Hardly surprising it didnt do well when Westcountry had never had it before 2003, HTV skipped over 500 episodes and London hadnt shown it since the Mid 1990s.

I think it replaced The Young Doctors on HTV too - the final episode of The Young Doctors I remember was April 1994 and we got Shortland Street not long after that.

It replaced 'The Young Doctors' on Tyne Tees and YTV in January 1995, and it didn't last that long.
I didn't really watch it, although I did watch TYD's. I guess it just didn't have the appeal that a soap 20 years older had for some reason.

In the old Granadaland TYD (whilst I was in my first year at Univeristy - 1992) finished then we had some sort of antipodean soap along the lines of GP - I think that was the name and then after that Shortland Street started.
