RE: Route History
Going on the cross river routes, not many of them before d-reg, only a night tunnel service not sure when started, later given number 94.
When the Kingsway[Wallasey] tunnel was completed early 70s, 31/32 started, 31 being New Brighton-Liverpool, & 32 Liscard-Liverpool, main difference was the routes in Liverpool.

31 went via Juvenal Street-St Anne Street-Norton Street-London Road-Lime Street, originally Hanover Street-Church Street-Lord Street-North John Street-Dale Street-Exchange Street East, then Hood Street Gyrotory-Whitechapel to Lord Street when Church Street was pedestrianised.

32 via Scotland Road-Byrom Street-Whitechapel-Crosshall Street-Dale Street, Exchange Street East, was diverted via Hood Street Gyrotory.

Both 31/32 routes from Exchange Street East, via Tithebarn Street-Great Crosshall Street-Scotland Road to the tunnel.

418 peak, 419 off peak & Saturdays, Heswall-Liverpool started in the mid 70s operated by Crosville, via Heswall Lower Village-Pensby-Thingwall then non stop to Liverpool via M53 & Kingsway Tunnel, in Liverpool 419 followed the 31 & 418 followed the 32
