RE: Route History
MerseyRider was originally based at the old Liverline depot when Liverline moved to Bootle, MerseyRider then moved to Speke depot which was mothballed by MTL in 1989.

I seem to remember quite a few strikes by Merseybus drivers, because of the low cost nature of MerseyRider, & new drivers on a lower pay rate, especially when the 72 City Centre-Halewood was moved from Garston to Speke, a bit of a problem for MTL as that was the middle of the Merseybus-GM Buses bus wars, MerseyRider was closed summer 96 when Garston depot closed & operation was transferred to Speke
