Route History

[MTL0201]

RE: Route History
It was simply because Merseybus abandoned the Pier Head bus station, & there was no suitable City Centre terminus to accommodate all the routes not until Central Bus Station was redeveloped to Paradise Street Bus Station with a proper layover area, so some of the routes merged, & it was easier to merge those with similar frequencies like 14C & 79, the oddity was on high frequency routes like 79, it was often easier to get off at the Gyrotory, cross over & board another 79 on an earlier service, as all the merged routes circumnavigated the City Centre via Castle Street or The Strand then back out.

It was weird seeing a 55 in Garston, 79 in North Liverpool, 19 in South Liverpool.

GTL re extended the 20 to Speke didn't they, with the 1 & 2 replacing 21, before Stagecoach cut the 20 to City Centre?
