Thanks gilesbus1, great list, I was 3 years old in 1971 when we moved from Smithdown road to Skem, remember travelling to Liverpool from Skem back then and the number 11 which was still running in 1974 when the Concourse opened. The Skem-Liverpool routes always had heavy loads I suppose due to people moving and inviting friends and family to see their 'brand new' homes. How times change!!
