RE: Route History
62, Bootle-Penny Lane has interesting history.
LCT era was 92 Page Moss-Pier Head via Kirkby-Fazakerley-Walton.
MPTE era, the PTE cut it to Page Moss-Walton, before diverting the 92 to Bootle, then extending it to Crosby at one end & Huyton the other with alternate journeys going to Halewood via Belle Vale, at d-Reg the 92 was diverted at Fazakerley to Penny Lane replacing the 99.

At d-reg Merseytravel introduced a 192 Walton-Halewood replacing that section of the 92, think initially operated by Crosville, until Crosville closed Liverpool depot down, Merseybus introduced the 217 Pier Head-Halewood via Kirkby as a daytime replacement of the 192, 192 still operated eve & sun, when eve & sun 217 initially was Pier Head-Kirkby

Meanwhilst the main 92 went unchanged since d-reg, until Arriva brought MTL & renumbered it to 62, then a couple of years ago Arriva cut the route to Bootle North Park-Penny Lane.
