The commercial service was in the hands of Merseybus , but the original Merseytravel service was in the hands of crosville .

Think it's the 118/119 daytime journeys, not the 18/18A that didn't go to Mill Park, that happened because Merseybus didn't register the MPTE routes 17/18/19 so Merseytravel came in & registered a 118/119 Arrowe Park-Mill Park, but Merseybus ended up registering the 18/18A quite late after the 118/119 were registered, & the i remember the 118/119 cut to Bebington Oval-Arrowe Park.

216/217 was a similar scenario the service was registered quite late, but don't think Toppings were ready to operate the route, so Merseybus ended up running the route until Jan 87, when Toppings took over.

If anyone remembers bus changes couldn't be made from D-Reg until the end of Jan 87
