Think some of the old routes are the inspiration of the present Impera routes.

The 14 took the route from Seacombe to New Brighton via St Paul's Road, Wheatland Lane, Mainwaring Road, Liscard Road, Liscard Village, Rake Lane, Rowson Street, Wellington Road and Virginia Road.

Whereas the 16 took the route from Seacombe to New Brighton via Church Road, Brighton Street, Church Street, Liscard Road, Seaview Road, Hose Side Road, Warren Drive, Victoria Road, Rowson Street, Wellington Road and Virginia Road.

But like you say Wirralbus, Impera's routes are very much influenced on some of the old corporation routes.

433 effectively replaces the 14 between New Brighton & Poulton Library. Before D-Reg the 2 was extended to New Brighton so there was 4 routes Seacombe-New Brighton 1/2/14/16/16A, 16A was only an Evening & Sunday service following the main 16 to Liscard Road then the 14[which only operated Mon-Sat daytime] to Seacombe.
