Merseytravel timetables rarely show the route out of boundary.

To be honest with you, it's quite easy. I did this little map showing the new route.

looking at both timetables they do look rather indentical , are we missing something though ?

I’ve scanned the timetable so many times, I cannot see a single difference. The route and the times are indentical! Also Christmas Eve is an odd date for a service change.
On the topic of the 73, with a 3 minute layover time, perhaps they could squeeze a King’s Lane/Town Lane diversion in there somehow. Also, if additional funding becomes available in the near future to increase the PVR to 2 buses, I would suggest after serving Poulton Lancelyn, buses then run via Clatterbridge, Raby Village and Thornton Hough back to Heswall, and maybe a ‘73A’ in the opposite direction, as Brimstage, Thornton Hough and Raby are now without a link to Heswall. I’ve looked at this and it can be just about done in an hour.
I was thinking a trip down Town Lane right onto Old Chester Rd , right onto Bebington Road and into Bebington Village may be a better option as it would also service Bebington Station with a service for Pulton Royd as well , unfortunately i cant see a service being able to run via both Town Lane and kings Lane though .

That would be a good idea. It doesn’t really need to serve Teehey Lane and Heath Road, there’s already 16/17 (16A for Teehey Lane also), 464 and 487.
New timetables have already been put up at some bus stops[the West Kirby stop has the 80/82 & 407 times up] with starts from 20th January disclaimer

Proposed new 106/107 Wallasey Circulars. I like the look of it, nice simple
Timetable, both run every 90 minutes, but it’s hardly an adequate replacement for Poulton/Breck Road which had 4 buses an hour to and from Birkenhead, last bus is at about 6pm too
More Liverpool ones are now up - 7, /8/9, 10, 26/27, 47, 52, 53, 54, 55, 60, 61 78, 79, X1 plus 135/159
