Not all correct. The 39/317/320 used to turn from Kensington into Jubilee Drive and then continuing along Overton Street, Oxford Street and Mount Pleasant into the city. Diversion along Holt Road/Edge Lane was as a result of the closure as a through road of Jubilee Drive. Unsure as to the reason for the Brownlow Hill diversion but I believe it was for operational reasons.

Thanks for that CWB. My earliest memories of these routes are via Holt Road.
