No prob, yep the double run was between Reeds Lane & Moreton Cross.

The evening & Sunday 7A/8E originally terminated at Town Meadow Lane using local side roads to turn around, however locals complained buses turning around regully mounted the pavements because the roads were unsuitable & on an angle, Merseybus ended up revising the route to terminate the 8E at Moreton Cross, then 7A doing a clockwise loop via Town Meadow Lane.

Merseytravel numbers to 7/7A/8/8A/8E were something else, being 7/107, 7A/207, 8/108, 8A/208, 8E/308, it's weird to look back when Merseytravel had all there tenders to commercial services a different number, it's only the last 15 years Merseytravel have most of the time numbered them the same as the commercial number.
