Did the 147 travel all the way along Smithdown Road or as per route 47A via Ullet Road/Lodge Lane because I seem to remember getting it to the Aldi.

Was gutted when the 47A was withdrawn. A great route!

No, 47/47A went vis the 86 from Pier Head to Upper Parliment Street then down Lodge Lane Ullett Road, Smithdown Road to Penny Lane then followed the 73 to Childwall Fiveways before using the 79A route to Belle Vale, the 47 went to Netherley 47A think was Lee Park
