I think 1988-89 was about the time when Merseybus introduced a 472 Mon-Fri although ironically I seem to recall Crosville ran the service on a Saturday although I think it was all part of the wider Woodchurch Road corridor competition at the time. I know they both competed on the Woodchurch Estate 70/70A services.
