RE: Route History
I remember the Merseyminis, mostly remember the Wallasey routes, 501/502/515, but Liverpool ones were 563 Belle Vale-Halewood 564/565 Belle Vale-Court Hey 566 Belle Vale-Garston Looking at my bus maps, looks like the 47 started sometime maybe spring 88, & 87 started sometime 1987 What is amusing, as there was already a Merseytravel tendered 109 Stockbridge-Huyton, the Merseytravel tendered 9 was numbered 129 93 which is now 53, started out as Bootle-Buckley Hill[the terminus being the junction near where the 55 turns to serve Netherton Village, & other routes go straight on for Magdelane Square] 93 was via current 53 Bootle-Waterloo then Crosby Road North-Stuart Road-Endbutt Lane-Crosby-The Northern Road-Brownmoor Lane-Chesterfield Road-Thornton. After a couple of changes the 93 was extended to Pier Head & cut to Crosby & diverted via Bridge Road & Oxford Road[competing with North Western L3], at the same time the 53 ceased being a circle route with the 55, cut to the loop around Thornton Runnells Lane/Lydiate Lane & diverted via the old 93 Brownmoor Lane ecc. Looking at my old bus maps, Merseytravel actually charged a fee [20p] for each copy, they became free in 89. |
