RE: Route History
Talking about rapidride routes the PTE introduced peak hour rapidride routes in the 70s, numbered in the 4xx series, buses operated from the outer terminus to a point on the route then non stop to just outside the City Centre, then all stops in the City Centre to the City Centre the rapidride, or non stop to Princess Dock then all stops to Seaforth, rapidride routes were around there peak were 400 Speke-Seaforth 405 Woolton-City Centre 412 Cantril Farm-City Centre 418/419 Heswall-Liverpool 438 Halewood-Seaforth 439 Netherley-Seaforth 478 Halewood-Pier Head 479 Netherley-Pier Head 480 Garston-Pier Head 486 Garston-Pier Head Incidentally, 418/419 was the only rapidride route operated by Crosville Rapidride routes had other stopping restrictions as well, only those going to/from City Centre/Docks were allowed to use them, no point to point travel in the outer part of the route, or in the City Centre/Docks was allowed Sadly the old Seaforth terminus is no longer open to the public part of MDHC land, was opposite Knowsley Road, plus it's a trailer park now.
