RE: Route History
Not sure about CMT's extension but I remember in the late 80's/early 90's North Western's extended their 10A through to Parr (Derbyshire Hill Road/Fleet Lane Terminus). This extension lasted for quite a number of years. CMT's 10A only went as far as the Horseshoe.

As for the 10, pre-dereg the service only ran Prescot to Liverpool. Only after dereg was the servcie (along with the introduction of the 10A) were extended to St Helens. St Helens - Prescot pre-dereg was served by the 7 (St Helens - Rainhill - Prescot - Eccleston Park - St Helens) and 8 opposite direction..

The 10's extension's in the early 90's started in around 1992 when the service was extended to Bolton, via Ashton (present 320 route) and Leigh (present 600 & 582 routes). Then under Lancashire Travel the service was extended to Manchester, from Ashton went via a similar route to the 620, then from Bolton via the old 12 route.
