Not right , plenty of mistakes in those. Even more if at de-reg day itself and plenty if after.
There was also hired in Domino's from South Yorkshire, unsure of fleet numbers/regs but do recall them being on 155/195 in St Helens. When these disappeared, it wasn't uncommon for one of the Swifts to appear on the 195 - happy days!

The Dominoes are on the list.

Please correct me then.
Southport Nationals 6042/3/8/9 YFY1,2,7,8M were sold to Preston Corporation in September 1986 a few weeks before dereg. Hope this helps. From memory CR also had some 1200 BKC-Ks for school tenders too. Think these commenced from the September too. I can't remember which to be exact but from your great list 1243,1264, 1265 and 1276 ring a bell plus 3 or 4 more. 1253 had been there since early 1985 and was still in normal service at dereg.
1298, 1316,1317 and 1318 also arrived around 10/86 but not sure if they had entered service or did a few months later.

6021/22/34/74 arrived as replacements for the sold Nationals.
1500-02 were at Walton not Gillmoss, 1617/22 were at Gillmoss and not Walton. 1411 was not in Pool it was at. GM at as were 1403/06/08/09/10/13. 1827/28/29 were at GM with 32/37. 1833/ 1835/1836 were at Walton
Nice work on this everyone some memories of the allocations there especially at GL and GM.

I wonder when 1833-36 left Walton as these were definitely at GL/GM mid/late '87 as 1834 the only W-reg one was GL bus by then and I think there's a pic of 1836 on a 14C taken in early '88 too. Probably standardising that batch of East Lancs I suppose?

Similarly I wonder if Speke's Alexander Dominator's moved to GM in October '86 or before then? Were they fairly similar to the Metro's at GM or not quite the same?

Interesting that until the F-YTJ Olly's EL, Garston and Speke only had Atlantean's and National's too.
The dominators moved to GM straight after de-reg,. I think 1834 might have been new to GL,
