In my area Merseybus hads major changes March 89, certainly affected me, the 33/34/35/36/44/45 were renumbered & or part replaced 3/3A/4/5/7/7A/8/8A/8E, the 3 was every 15 minutes at first then may have been later that year or 1990, 3B[now 413] was introduced replaced the 4 & 5 Liscard to Seacombe with the 4 & 5 cut to Liscard-Saughall Massie.

I do remember some Crosville changes around then, 86 introduced replacing the 185 Eastham-West Kirby, extending to Liscard via Moreton, Merseytravel introduced an evening & Sunday 186 Mill Park/Eastham Ferry-Leasowe Station, this was operated by PMT RedRider

80A was diverted at Arrowe Park to Somerville via Leasowe Estate & Liscard replacing the 123/124
